Since then, we are glad to have received a positive response from the C++ community. At the end of June, we refreshed the bits for support of Visual Studio 2012 RC and Windows 8 RP. Those builds are now rather long in the tooth, and many have been asking for a refresh for the most recent builds, which are the final versions of Visual Studio 2012 and Windows 8.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we are announcing that this long awaited refresh is available for download at the <a href=\"http:\/\/msdn.microsoft.com\/en-us\/devlabs\/casablanca.aspx\">Casablanca devlabs site<\/a>. In addition to refreshing and fixing lots of bugs, we are also adding a few new capabilities:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Streaming of HTTP message bodies (there are some limitations on Windows 8 App Store apps)<\/li>\n<li>Improved asynchronous streams libraries, including interop with C++ iostreams.<\/li>\n<li>Support for Azure Table storage, with some restrictions.<\/li>\n<li>Complete support for the Azure blob and queue APIs.<\/li>\n<li>We cleaned up our use of strings as arguments to various APIs. There should be no more confusion between wstring and string.<\/li>\n<li>A couple of new samples, mostly focusing on Azure storage capabilities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We&rsquo;re hoping to make more frequent updates in the future, and will soon put this project on a path toward release as a supported product under an OSS license.<\/p>\n<p>Please use the <a href=\"http:\/\/social.msdn.microsoft.com\/Forums\/en-US\/casablanca\/threads\">devlabs forums<\/a> to provide us with feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for your support and we look forward to hearing back from you!<\/p>\n<p>The Casablanca Team<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back, at the end of April, we announced our first release of Casablanca as an incubation project on Devlabs.
