Topaz now supports the new Task-based async pattern using TPL.

Aug 29 Update

We removed the hard dependency on the Windows Azure Shared Caching core assembly (Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Core, Version=101.0.0.0).  This was causing build/deployment issues for users who wanted to use the Windows Azure Caching Preview (Microsoft.ApplicationServer.Caching.Core, Version=1.0.0.0) even when not using Topaz to handle transient faults accessing the Caching service, as the preview is not yet supported by Topaz. The updated version is v..5.0.1208.2 and it's availabe via NuGet.

Today we shipped via NuGet two service updates to the Transient Fault Handling Application Block targeting the Windows Azure SDK for .NET 1.6 Nov 2011 and 1.7 June 2012 respectively. The updates include fixes to the Service Bus and the Azure Storage transient error detection strategies.

Please read the Release Notes and perform the update.
