Silverlight 5 Final Release Date [closed]

Does anyone know anything of when the final version of Silverlight is going to be released? Actually, I've based one of my projects on Silverlight 5 and It has to be released within the next month.

Thanks in advance.

Microsoft no longer supports the Silverlight plug-in. If you're having problems when using Silverlight, we recommend updating to a browser that supports HTML5.

Netflix will drop Silverlight in favor of HTML5 for its browser-based streaming service, in part because Microsoft is ending support for its video plugin in 2021.
