Blazor 0.1.0 released: web apps in the browser with .NET and WebAssembly
As I understand, Mono is going to be moving forwards with WebAssembly much faster than CoreRT will do. Mono has officially committed to it already, whereas for CoreRT it was more of an exploratory spike.
Also it makes much more sense for Mono to be the .NET runtime for WebAssembly. Mono is already Microsoft's preferred production-grade .NET runtime for most client scenarios (iOS/Android native apps, Unity games) and is designed for that kind of portability. WebAssembly is another client platform like those.

Knockout 3.2.0 released
New Microsoft Azure management portal
A primer on using ES6 generators for clean async code in Koa.js
The version of the specs published to knockoutjs.com didn't match the final release. I've just updated them. Please let us know if anything is still failing, preferably at https://github.com/knockout/knockout/issues
We haven't published the official 3.0 announcement yet, but you can find an overview of what's new on my Release Candidate/Beta blog posts:

Major updates for mobile backend development on Azure
Anyway, many projects are built with KO, and its 3500+ watchers on GitHub suggests it's something like 7 times as widely used as one of the libraries in the article, so it's perhaps inaccurate to say that nobody considers it!
One possibility I've wondered about is making the GitHub issues list read-only, except for project maintainers. Then bug reports and feature requests would go initially only to the project's forum or IRC channel, which has much less maintenance cost, because threads or conversations don't need to be "closed". If they attract enough attention (because they describe a painful bug, or a really good idea), then a project maintainer is likely to notice and choose to file an issue.

Um, no, sorry. I don't have that much patience. Honestly this could be a great service for Windows-based web developers who just need a few hours on a Mac now and then for testing, but the signup process needs to be instant.
On "Step 1: Add Friends", it showed people who I actually know (presumably who have my phone number, since that's the only info I gave that actually relates to me)
On "Step 3: Profile Information", it offered many more people, most of whom I don't actually know (presumably friends of the people from step 1)
Note that to trigger the mobile-number-confirmation request, you may need to enter dubious-looking profile information. In my case, I entered a name like "Blaah Blahh", with a throwaway email address from www.mailinator.com. If your fake name is too realistic, it won't necessarily trigger the security check.
I do have the same mobile number on my primary account, so it's possible they found me that way. But either way, it's notable that in step 1 they managed to show just the people who I would expect actually do keep track of my phone number.
