Big changes for Alpha 2. Thrust now has an Application class to replace using Microsoft.Xna.Game. Settings are maintained inside this class as well as a few other features. XmlProvider is now within Thrust and working extremely well. DependencyProperty and DependencyObject are well built into the foundation classes and Component and DrawableComponent add extra functionality such as tree structuring for your components. Be sure to check out the samples provided with the source code!
