Ανακοινώσεις για Windows Live
Σήμερα ανακοινώθηκαν κάποιες αναβαθμίσεις για την πλατφόρμα του API του Live.
- Messenger Library API beta
- This new addition to the Windows Live Platform family will allow
third party developers to build their own complete custom Messenger
applications on cross platform websites, using a new set of APIs to
access and deliver Messenger functionality to websites. This means
that websites could build their own front ends to Messenger on their
websites, with all of the functionality (and a good deal more) of a
Messenger client.
- Silverlight Streaming updated:
- Silverlight Streaming, which has been in Alpha and offering 4gb of storage space and 22mb file limits, is now in beta.
- Upgraded to 10gb of storage space and 100mb+ file size limits
- 1400kbps streaming speeds (free for up to 500,000 minutes/mo)
- Better file manipulation with the ability to use Windows Explorer
- and better support for Visual Studio 2008 with Windows Live Tools for Visual Studio,
- You can take a look at a Hi-Def video streamed from Silverlight Streaming video here, and we'll have more soon.
- Windows Live Contacts API Beta
- The Windows Live Contacts API Beta allows people to use their
Windows Live contact information (including Hotmail, Messenger, and
Mobile contacts) with any site—while keeping complete control of their
data. Featuring Windows Live Delegation Authentication, the Contacts
API can return Full or "invite" information (many sites just need name
and primary email for invitations, and the Contacts API now allows that
without exposing any other Windows Live Contacts information).
- Windows Live Photo API CTP
- The updated Windows Live Photo API gives full control of photos
stored on Spaces using the Atom Publishing Protocol or WebDAV, and now
photos shown on a third party site are not required to go through the
site - the API will call Spaces directly, and photos can be shown as
thumbnails as well as time-limited permalinks (yeah, sounds
contradictory...):
- Windows Live ID Delegated Authentication
- Windows Live ID Delegated Authentication enables any web
applications to request permission from users to access their Windows
Live data
- Windows Live servers securely handle access control and user authentication
- Some Web sites would request Live ID and password – this is not necessary with Delegated Authentication
- Users can manage and revoke access at any time
- Windows Live Quick Apps
- Two new Quick Apps, Contoso University and AdventureWorksResorts have been added, and Tafiti, the search app, has been updated. We'll have more on Tafiti and the Quick Apps soon, in the mean time, Angus has some more information on them.
- Windows Live Tools for Visual Studio
- 4 key enhancements:
- Windows Live Messenger IM Control integration (which Angus hinted at)
- Deploy your controls to partially-trusted environments, including medium trust web hosting farms
- Silverlight 2 SDK compatibility
- No longer depends on ASP.NET Futures
- ATOM Publishing Protocol
- Atom is a simple XML format for exchanging data in the form of feeds (which Windows Live Writer already supports)
- The Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) is a lightweight HTTP-based protocol for publishing and storing Atom-encoded feeds
- Windows Live services will align with a consistent AtomPub-based interface
