The ASP.NET Ajax Library Beta was released today! The five big things I’m going to talk about in this post are:

1. The ASP.NET Ajax Library is now in Beta
2. Contributing the ASP.NET Ajax Library to the CodePlex Foundation
3. Merging the Ajax Control Toolkit with the ASP.NET Ajax Library
4. Plans to provide support for the ASP.NET Ajax Library
5. ASP.NET Ajax Library features that provide:
* Powerful developer libraries and tooling support
* Performance – build high performance websites
* Interoperability – use it with any server platform and alongside jQuery
* Extensible – build on top of the library and inherit from controls like DataView

Since July last year the team has been cranking out new features in 6 previews, each with exciting innovations including powerful productivity benefits for developers, performance enhancements to make your website faster and making the library interoperable with multiple server platforms and other JavaScript libraries like jQuery.
