Updated Utility: Unleash It 2.2

Published 08 October 04 02:56 PM | mhawley

Unleash It has been updated once again, this time being a huge update. Lots of things have been added, changed, or fixed since 2.1.1.1, all which are contained in the changelog being listed below. However, the most notable change is that now Xceed's FTP Library is now being used instead of a custom library. What does this mean? Well, you should no longer have issues with FTP like some have had before.

Below is the changelog...

  • Added: Ability to clear the log file when viewing it.
  • Added: Ability to cancel a FTP profile editing.
  • Added: Security checking for FTP testing.
  • Added: Additional file masks (*.asax, *.css, *.js, and *.png) to the default masks
  • Added: CLS Compliance
  • Added: Ability to add file and folder masks globally with the profile listing.
  • Fixed: Exception being thrown when accessing the logfile during a deployment.
  • Fixed: Directories with periods now successfully work.
  • Fixed: FTP Settings now get validated and saved if not saved manually when clicking OK.
  • Fixed: Error when submitting a bug and cannot contact bug server. Now have the option to save bug report to send manually.
  • Fixed: Duplicate button was still enabled after deleting a profile.
  • Fixed: When duplicating a profile, and click Cancel, the profile is not saved.
  • Fixed: Overflow exception when loading a VS.NET project file with invalid characters.
  • Changed: Now using Xceed's FTP library.
  • Changed: File / Folder mask lists are now sorted.
  • Changed: Adding File / Folder masks will be checked by default.
  • Changed: Double clicking a profile in the Profiles dialog will open up the edit dialog for that profile.
  • Changed: Files Copied and Exceptions dialogs are now re-sizable.
  • Changed: Notification of application running during install can now be cancelled.
  • Changed: The "Deploy" button in the context menu for the VS.NET plugin is now below "Build" and "Rebuild"

Matt announced Unleash It 2.2 on his blog today. I tried WebDeploy before Matt renamed it and had a few problems with the FTP functionality. I was happy to see the FTP library has been replaced in Unleash It 2.2 (formerly WebDeploy). I tested a few of the betas over the last week and have been very pleased with it so far. Matt has now posted the Gold version, so if you're working with ASP.NET (or anything that needs deployment, actually) go check out the feature list, this is a very helpful tool in overcoming the lack of deployment options in VS.NET 2003. I'll post further on this subject in a week or so, after I've banged on the product for a while. I have sites hosted by several hosting companies, each with their own little quirks. A good deployment tool can handle all those little problems because every deployment situation is different. So far, Unleash It seems to handle them with ease and is more flexable than some of the other affordable tools I've seen. (btw, Unleash It is free as in beer)
