This is, of course, a placeholder file. \ No newline at end of file +Welcome to the C# port of Google Protocol Buffers, written by Jon Skeet +(skeet@pobox.com) based on the work of many talented people. + +For more information about this port, visit its homepage: +http://protobuf-csharp-port.googlecode.com + +For more information about Protocol Buffers in general, visit the +project page for the C++, Java and Python project: +http://protobuf.googlecode.com + + +Release 0.9 +----------- + +Due to popular demand, I have built a version of the binaries to put +on the web site. Currently these are set at assembly version 0.9, +and an assembly file version of 0.9. This should be seen as a mark +of the readiness of the release process more than the stability of +the code. As far as I'm aware, the code itself is perfectly fine: I +certainly have plans for more features particularly around making +code generation simpler, but you should feel confident about the +parsing and serialization of messages produced with this version of +the library. Of course, if you do find any problems, *please* report +them at the web site. + +Currently the downloadable release is built with the snk file which +is in the open source library. I am considering having a privately +held key so that you can check that you're building against a +"blessed" release - feedback on this (and any other aspect of the +release process) is very welcome. -- cgit v1.2.3
