February CTP of DSL Tools is live in the Visual Studio 2005 SDK February 2006 CTP

I'm pleased to announce that DSL Tools is fully integrated into the February 2006 CTP of the Visual Studio 2005 SDK V2 which is now live at https://affiliate.vsipmembers.com/affiliate/downloadfiles.aspx

 

This means that there's now only one download required for DSL Tools customers to get the SDK, Tools, Documentation and Samples.

 

The integration of all our piece parts is the major change in this release, but there are one or two bug fixes and a new sample showing how to create a custom XML Directive Processor for T4 Text Templates.

 

Don’t worry though, we aren’t slowing down on features.  We've been super-busy with some really major goodies for our NEXT release.  As Stuart has mentioned in our forum, expect to see:

  • A revised, cleaner modeling API
  • Single file format and complete visual designer for all aspects of a DSL (yeah baby)
  • Clean, domain-specific serialization of models
  • Port Shapes
