  Wow.. this is great! Do you expect any regression issues or should I be ok with upgrading to the latest release. I use telerik grids all over in my app and customers have been complaining about performance. I really want to upgrade to the new version as soon as it comes out.

  No, we don't really expect regressions at this point. We did our best to cover the changes with unit tests and we have specific tests that compare old vs. new code to make sure it behaves the same. We've cleared any issues that made it past the unit tests through our usual QA process.

  This is great news.
  
  It would be really good if the size of the javascript files could be cut down as well.  When you have got customers in lots of different countries, some without great internet connections, you have be conscious of the "size of files" - even when using the various compression, combining scripts, the size of the files can be pretty big.

  @Richard - We're also working to reduce the JavaScript size as well. The results are not as dramatic, but they somewhat offset the code required for new features.
  
  We'll also provide CDN support after the Q3 release and this will improve loading times for public sites.
  
  @Jeff - The stack trace indicates that you're using RadGrid from RadControls Classic. Please, open a support ticket and we'll try to resolve the issue.

  What's the timeline for CDN support? Particularly in EMEA? I need dates. Microsoft's CDN is up and running with JQuery and ASP.NET AJAX core JS so will Telerik just build on top of that? I have a call into my account rep (Harry) but he's on vacation and this is a burning issue. We are still on 2008 Q2, is there anything we can do in the interim? Thanks,
