About a month ago, Craig posted a blog entry describing the goals for the first MSBee Beta. We're thrilled that we achieved all of the promised goals and more.

PROMISED

  • Code reviews for MSBee tasks

  • Ensuring FxCop cleanliness

  • Developing and automating scenario tests

  • Creating GetFrameworkPath and GetFrameworkSDKPath tasks

  • Separating output directories for MSBee produced binaries

  • Creating an installer for MSBee

EXTRAS

  • Redirecting the AL task to target .NET 1.1 in the CreateSatelliteAssemblies target
  • Providing a ReadMe document that provides usage information, answers to common questions, and support links

A big thanks goes to Sara Ford, our newest team member, for composing an excellent ReadMe document and to everyone on the Aftermarket Solutions team for their invaluable input throughout the sprint.

Enjoy!
