- New AsyncCallResult<TState, TResult> class designed to encapsulate the result of an asynchronous operation
- New CountdownEvent class which is a lightweight implementation of the one found in .NET 4
- New CountdownEventEventArgs to provide data for a CountdownEvent
- New ISortedWorkItem<out TKey> interface that defines a method to control thread related work operations while keeping them sorted
- New IWorkItem interface that defines a method to control thread related work operations
- New IWorkItemPool interface that defines a way to control a thread pool to execute work items
- New SortedWorkItem<TKey> abstract class providing a way for outsourcing thread intensive work
- New SortedWorkItemPool<TKey> that provides a pool of threads to execute work items
- New WorkItem abstract class providing a way for outsourcing thread intensive work
- New WorkItemPool that provides a pool of threads to execute work items
- New Action delegates as found in .NET 4
- New Func delegates as found in .NET 4
- Renamed Cuemon.ServiceModel.ServiceInstrumentation to Cuemon.ServiceModel.EndPoint
