“Moonlight 1.0 officially debuted in February, while
the first Moonlight 2 preview went public in May. With the
Moonlight 2 beta, Novell is now declaring the release to be
feature-complete, and the software now enters a bug-hunting and
stability phase ahead of a general release.

“”We’re pleased that we’ve got this release only nine months
after Microsoft Silverlight 2.0 went public, so we’re not lagging
that far behind,” Miguel De Icaza, Novell Moonlight’s project
leader, told InternetNews.com. “We’re feature-complete, and that
means we pass all the Microsoft tests that they gave us — those
are tests for the graphical and audio components. We’re coming out
with this in beta, because this is the first time we’re doing a
broad release of Moonlight 2 and we’re sure we’ll run into
bugs.””
