Task Tracker - BitConverter issue not documented in the release note

Archive
1

I just posted BitConverter issue not documented in the release note on Task Tracker. Feel free to discuss and make suggestions here.

 bf = BitConverter.GetBytes((float)2);
            float f =(float)BitConverter.ToDouble(bf, 0);
            Debug.Print(f.ToString());

This results in an exception on the second conversion.

The release notes of our SDK does not generally list issues inside the NETMF core.

Too many location to check for known bugs issues, missing features…

NETMF is a component of your SDK it sounds to me obvious that the first location to check is your release note. Now checking GHI, NETMF codeplex, ARM… for known issues is a waste of time. It would ease developments for begginer and even for Heroes :wink:

Have you counted how many issues are on the NETMF repo? Moving them all didn’t make sense. And moving a few would be confusing. Otherwise I agree with you.

How about including pointers in the GHI SDK release notes to the places to see open issues for MF and Gadgeteer core?
