VSeWSS 1.1 ready for download!

[Via the SharePoint Team Blog] The long awaited version 1.1 of the Visual Studio Extensions for Windows SharePoint Services has RTM-ed, you can download it here. There is still no support for Visual Studio 2008 (but it will come in June 2008), but there are some interesting new things:

What's New in VSeWSS 1.1?

• "WSP View", aka "Solution Package editing"
  • No more hidden, non-editable solution content!
  • Create new Features
  • Reorder Elements between Features
  • Conflict validation against existing Features
  • Rename existing Features
  • Change Feature activation order
• Visual Basic support!
• New Item Templates:
  • "List Instance" project item
  • "List Event Handler" project item
  • “SharePoint Template” item template, e.g. "layouts" files

  • No more GUIDs in Feature Names
  • Support complex project names, e.g. with periods.
