Build 1.0.2052.0 11/17/2009, First Release
There are 3 versions of Rx: Rx for .NET 3.5 Sp1, Rx for Silverlight 3 and Rx for .NET 4 Beta 2.
All 3 versions can be downloaded from the Devlabs Rx project page.
The installer ships the following dlls:
System.CoreEx, api used by both System.Reactive and System.Interactive:
- Additional Action<,> and Func<,> types (for .NET 3.5 SP1 only, matches types in .NET 4)
- TimeInterval<T> & TimeStamped<T> adds time information to a value.
- IEvent<TEventArgs> wraps existing .NET event values.
- Notification<T> to materialize next/error/completed notifications.
- SynchronizationContexts provides access to common SynchronizationContexts.
- Unit, represents void for use in generics.
- BooleanSignal, a boolean state locking mechanism wrapping Semaphore.
- Semaphore adds the semaphore functionality to Silverlight 3.
System.Reactive, api related to IObservable & IObserver.
- IObservable<T> & IObserver<T>, the base interfaces for Reactive (lives in mscorlib.dll for .NET 4).
- Numerous Observable & Observer sequence operators:
-
- Standard LINQ operaturs such as: Select, Where, GroupBy, SelectMany
- combining operations such as Zip Repeat, Merge, Amb, Concat and StartWith.
- caching operations such as: Share, Memoize, MemoizeAll and Publish.
- creation operators such as: Return, Throw, Repeat and Generate.
- threading operators such as: Asynchronous, Synchronize, SubscribeOn, ObserveOn.
- exception handling operators such as: Catch, Finally, Retry and OnErrorResumeNext.
- evaluation operators such as: Run & Do.
- stream manipulation operators such as: Scan and Aggregate
- time based operators: Timestamp, Interval, Delay,
- remoting operator: Remotable
- Various Subjects, publish & subscribe (pub/sub) for Reactive with different caching policies.
- System.Joins.*, implements join-calculus on top of Rx.
System.Interactive, backport of Observable sequence operators that apply to IEnumerable as well.
- combining operations such as Zip (for .NET 3.5 SP1 and Silverlight 3), Repeat, Merge, Amb, Concat and StartWith.
- caching operations such as: Share, Memoize, MemoizeAll and Publish.
- creation operators such as: Return, Throw, Repeat and Generate.
- threading operators such as: Asynchronous & Synchronize.
- exception handling operators such as: Catch, Finally, Retry and OnErrorResumeNext.
- evaluation operators such as: Run & Do.
- stream manipulation operators such as: Scan.
- remoting operator: Remotable.
System.Threading, backport of Parallel Extensions for .NET 4 to .NET 3.5 SP1
- Task<T> for executing asynchronous operations.
- Concurrent Collections such as ConcurrentStack, ConcurentQueue ad ConcurrentDictionary.
- PLINQ for writing parallel queries.
- addition Threading operations such as Barrier,SpinLock and SpinWait.

So why have a new type, Unit, instead of using System.Void? I must be missing something.Anonymous
November 17, 2009
@KFarmer> System.Void is treated by .NET as a special type that cannot be used in generic arguments. e.g. IObservable<System.Void> is not allowed, that's why we provided the alternative Unit. Some of our api return an event stream that only signals completion, such as Observable.ToAsync(Action action) which returns IObservable<Unit>Anonymous

Well done Rx team! This changes everything, and it's only the beginning. What a time to be a developer! Keep up the fantastic work!Anonymous

I am not sure how to use the TakeLast method. Is it possible to provide a short snippet on how to use it. Thanks a lot and keep em coming. Great work !!Anonymous

Rx is fantastic. How is anyone going to take this thing seriously, though, with a type called IQbservable. That must have been a great naming party.Anonymous

This is great but here is my problem. I have read and used Rx on my own at home and love it. Two weeks ago, I did a demo for my boss in relation to a project we are about to start. He was very excited but ask the blocking question "this is great but what makes you think this will not end up like volta". I had no response of cause. So my question is that, its all great to say a project is experimental but since volta was shut down, no word has been release whether its been faced out or .....leaving first adopters hanging. I will assume Rx is here to say since its been somewhat integrated into silverlight, wpf , javascript etc. With that said, what should be the response to my boss.Anonymous

@Emmanuel ... Rx is Volta ... that's your answer.Anonymous
September 03, 2010
Guys, you really really REALLY need to remove the UnitTesting reference in System.Reactive for .Net 4.0. It can't be used in ClientProfile apps... HUGE bummer.Anonymous

I just installed the latest Rx and went to the C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft Cloud ProgrammabilityReactive Extensionsv1.0.2787.0WP7 directory. When I replaced my reference to Microsoft.Phone.Reactive with System.Reactive it complained that this was a full Silverlight assembly. Why not put out a release that has the assembly named Microsoft.Phone.Reactive? Why change namespaces? Why not mark this assembly as Windows Phone 7 Compatible?
