It took longer than expected, but the final of GhostDoc 1.3.0 has just been released (download on the GhostDoc homepage ). Now that it’s out the door, I’m ready to move on to work on a VS2005 version. What’s new in 1.3.0 Final compared to beta 2: Added: Some more "of the" trigger words and adjectives...

Beta 2 of GhostDoc 1.3.0 has been released, which in terms of features should be pretty close to the release version. The documentation has made a major step forward, but stills needs some work (proofreading, more and better Howtos, especially tutorials for defining custom rules). What’s new in 1.3.0...

I’m pleased to announce that beta 1 of GhostDoc 1.3.0 has been released. A big “Thank You” to the steadily growing number of testers who helped me testing a couple of preview builds, pointed out a few minor issues and gave me an overall “Thumbs up”. What’s New New: New rules for using "inherited" documentation...

I’m planning a first public beta of GhostDoc 1.3.0 towards the end of July. A couple of private builds have already been released to colleagues and people on the net who offered their help. So far feedback has been pretty good. People like the new features, some issues have been found, most of them could...

While working on version 1.3.0, I ran across some minor issues in 1.2.0 that were pretty easy to fix. These fixes are now available in version 1.2.1. Download: on the GhostDoc homepage What's New: Fixed: Under certain circumstances, acronyms used in parameter names that are referenced in summary texts...

Version 1.2.0 originally was planned to contain mostly new rules; but it turned out that many of the planned rules require some kind of individual customization/configuration, so this had to be taken care of first. Internally, this release now does use configuration settings for each rule (e.g. templates...

A new version of GhostDoc, the winner of Roy Osherove's Visual Studio add-in contest , is available - finally! Some bugfixes, some new features, an all-new help file, some eye-candy... but the most important work was done on turning a contest entry (with some corners cut to meet the deadline) into a...

The contest results are not finalized yet, but the official website went live [via Roy ]. All add-ins entered in the competition can now be downloaded, GhostDoc is available here . Edit 2004-08-14: I've disabled the download link that was pointing to version 1.01; the most recent version can be downloaded...

Marty Garins wrote a really cool macro for performing a Google search from Visual Studio. See the feedback section of that blog entry for a minor addition I proposed (urlencoding of the search text). By the time you are reading this, it may already be included in the macro code. Tip: If you want to limit...

As the public interest regarding GhostDoc was next to zero (which isn't necessarily a bad thing at this phase of the project), I've done a quiet release of version 0.9, available only to some of my colleagues at work. The overall reaction was very positive and a lot of "cool, I want more" ideas poured...
