Flickr .Net Screensaver - Release: Release 4.2
Finally released a new version of the screensaver. This is a beta release, but hopefully should fix the problems that people have been having with memory and threading issues.
I’ve finally got around to releasing a new version of my screensaver. It unfortunately doesn’t add much functionality, but it should get around the “threading” error, as well as fix a bug or two elsewhere.

The FlickrNet API Library has a new home, on CodePlex, the new open source hosting platform from Microsoft.
