The new version 1.2.3.2 is available for download from the Electric Editing page now. Please don’t download this version if you’re still using CodeRush 1.X – the download is only for the new CodeRush 2.0 release!

While I do recommend that CodeRush (or DXCore) 2.0 users upgrade to this new release, I have only made a few minor changes for compatibility reasons. I don’t really expect any problems if you stay on the last version of ElectricEditing – but please, if you find interesting bugs in ElectricEditing, make sure you’re using the release for your version of CodeRush or DXCore.

So here I am in Boston, and this is the view out my window:

Well, that’s not what I came here for

I had a good flight, tried Virgin Atlantic for the first time. They have a fantastic movie selection in their planes – but for some reason it takes them an hour after takeoff to finally switch it on, and there’s about another hour towards the end of the flight when it’s also off because “the flight attendants are preparing the cabin for the descent”. Apparently it’s a fact that airplane passengers can’t watch a movie (or listen to their iPod, for that matter) at the same time as sit down and wait for the plane to land. Hm. And of course it’s pretty unnerving that every time one of the flight attendants finds the need to tell the passengers something, they put it through to everybody on the headphones… quite an interesting effect on my Shure e2c’s, because they (the flight attendants) are always twice as loud as the movie. Anyway, good marks for Virgin… it was a nice flight, and even the food was pretty good.

Apparently I was in luck yesterday, as even the immigration people at Logan airport didn’t hold everything up as long as the last time I went through there. I actually made it to baggage claim before my bag

Just a short notice, the official announcement will go out soon: Have a look at this page, the new CTP 2 of eXpressApp Framework is available right now. There are a number of interesting changes in it – the most interesting being, for many people, that it’s now available to everybody (download directly from that page linked above), not just to DX subscribers.

I’m going to be at TechEd next week. If you are there, please come by the Developer Express booth in the exhibition area for a chat!

The other piece of news is, we’re going to make the CTP 2 release of the eXpressApp Framework available in what remains of this week, so TechEd will also be the perfect opportunity to see a demo of that, discuss it with is or just tell us your thoughts.

This is fantastic – an IDE for PowerShell (used to be Monad). Get it here, it’s free!
