Sandcastle project removed from Codeplex

 

We have removed Sandcastle project from Codeplex after carefully evaluating the feedback from this thread https://www.codeplex.com/Sandcastle/Thread/View.aspx?ThreadId=29085 (currently unavailable).

There are few options such as the following:

  1. Publish the source code for Sandcastle and revive this project in Codeplex

  2. Migrate sandcastle to MSDN Code gallery at https://code.msdn.microsoft.com

I am going to evaluate these and other options carefully but rest assured the Sandcastle downloads will be available soon for the customers.

I am greatful for all the great community efforts, support around Sandcastle and the adoption rates.
I ask your patience while I make every effort to address the options presented. I will get back and blog about our decision.

Thanks for your understanding. Please feel free to contact me (aram@microsoft.com) directly regarding any questions. Cheers.

Anand..
