Magellan 2.2

[Paul Stovell]

Magellan 2.2 is available from Google Code:

http://code.google.com/p/magellan-framework/

Here are some of the new changes:

• Navigators can be nested - for example, the frame on your main window can create child navigators for a frame in a popup window. You can use the Navigator.Parent property to walk up the tree.
• Ability to queue a background task that is automatically cancelled when the page is closed
• An IsBusy flag on ViewModels that changes to true when background operations are executing
• Ability to "flash" a message on a page
• Abstractions to create background tasks that run on a timer in ViewModels
• Various bug fixes

I'll blog some of these features in more detail later, but for now, the source code includes a new Fluent Validation sample that shows off some of these features.

Magellan packages are also finally available from NuGet.
