Milestone 4 Released

After a long period of silence, we are releasing a new userkit again.

This new release contains many changes, including:

New compiler. This should give a large speed boost. During the Milestone 5 timeframe, we will be speeding up the compiler even more.
VGA support. It's now possible to use pixelputting on a 320x240 screen.
Many other things

To download this release, please go to Codeplex.

As of the moment I have no work/job so I want to dedicate all my time and knowledge on the said project. I have a strong knowledge on C# and WPF so that won't be problem to me. Thanks

C# itself does not belong to MS so there is no risk there unlike Java it is now open. However intitially we use MS libs on an MS platform ( via emulator)
