Radical Splash-Screen support for desktop apps (8 April 2015)

Take a look at the following snippet:
```
public App()
{
    var bootstrapper = new WindsorApplicationBoostrapper<Presentation.MainView>()
             .EnableSplashScreen( new SplashScreenConfiguration()
             {
                 StartupAsyncWork = c => 
                 {
                     //async work while the splash screen is shown.
                 }
             } );
}
```
It is not available yet, it is a feature we are working on that leverages the intrinsic power of partial regions: it is enough to call the EnableSplashScreen() method (the configuration is optional) and define a partial named “SplashScreenContent”, the partial user control will be automatically wired up at start-up and used as the splash screen content.

If you have any idea or comment chime in.

Radical Vegan (RC) Release (31 March 2015)

We have just released (also on NuGet) the RC version of Radical “Vegan”.

Highlights

Closed issues: https://github.com/RadicalFx/radical/issues?q=milestone%3AVegan+is%3Aclosed
- Default conventions support: simplifies how the user replaces/overrides conventions;
- A nasty MessageBroker bug related to thread safety;
- A container memory leak that in some scenario caused some headaches (actually fixed only for Castle Windsor, others are on the way);

- Some documentation improvements;
It is a release candidate so use it, it is supported, stay tuned and report any issue you may encounter.

Radical news (15 January 2015)

Good news :-) Thanks, many thanks, to Michael and Enos we are powering Radical with new fuel.

A new home

Still GitHub, no worries, but we also decided to leverage GitHub Pages to have a nice front-end: http://radical.topics.it

Universal Apps

Started by the tireless Enos and brought to an end during the past Holidays we can finally announce that we now support Universal Apps. The new version is hosted in a new repository because is has a different lifecycle from the desktop one.

Documentation

With the complicity of Michael and Nazareno (http://blogs.ugidotnet.org/ddl) the documentation is richer every single day: https://github.com/RadicalFx/radical/wiki

Visual Studio Templates

Tadaaaaa :-) finally, after a long sweat and some crying too we now have Visual Studio templates support, available today in the Visual Studio Gallery (deprecated: the Visual Studio Gallery and the templates are no longer available).
