Assembly Version Manager 0.9.8.7 Released

I am proud to announce that I have released a new version of the Assembly Version Manager for Visual Studio 2010. Version 0.9.8.7 adds major new features to the build set identification capabilities. Download it now! If you like it, be sure to give it a positive rating on the Visual Studio Gallery.

I will be updating the documentation on the website to reflect the new features and changes over the coming week.

New Features

• Added new features to the build set identification process:
  • Added a Platform capture group to allow capturing platform information from the assemblies' path
  • Added a Default Platform setting to specify the platform that is associated with build sets by default (the default setting is simply ".NET")
  • Added a setting called "Additional Search Levels" that allows the provider to correctly handle nested file hierarchies for complex component distributions such as the complex hierarchy in the log4net distribution
• Added a "Preview" panel in the provider configuration editor that allows you to select a reference in the solution and get a real-time preview of the build sets that are found using the current settings in the editor -- if you make a change, the preview will update accordingly!

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug that prevented the Refresh and Configuration buttons from becoming visible even after a solution was open (which was actually caused by problems with other Visual Studio plugins running on the same machine!)

UI Improvements

• Fixed a visual glitch on the styling of non-filterable column headers in the "Windows Classic" visual theme
• Updated the in-program documentation for the configuration editor
• Made the configuration editor's documentation "pop down" three times larger by default
• Made the configuration editor window twice as large by default
