New API version, Open Source, lack of functionality and bugs

Question

There is no news about new version of ArcGIS API for Silverlight. And no information about work being done at all. We are developing enterprise software and really need this information.
We experience much dificulties because of bugs (snapping for example) and lack of functionality (dynamic layers with full parameters and properties which are supported by ArcGIS Server http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/73443-Making-a-custom-layer-serializable g-a-custom-layer-serializable"]http://forums.arcgis.com/threads/73443-Making-a-custom-layer-serializable[/URL]). We need to make custom hacks.
Our suggestion is why not make ArcGIS API for Silverlight open source, so everyone could extend it and fix bugs, while ESRI is not capable of doing that.

Thank you for your time and reply, ESRI.

Thank you for that information. It is good news that a new version of Toolkit is almost there. BUT it is just Toolkit that is going to be updated not the core API. Also the source code is only available for Toolkit.Over on Codeplex there is a reference to v3.2 that was posted on November 4th.  So hopefully they are getting close.  Also to the OP, you can find the source code to the api at Codeplex.
