CodeSmith 2.5 Released!

CodeSmith 2.5 has now been released and, along with it, there is now a CodeSmith Professional version which currently includes CodeSmith Studio. All of the features and more from the previous versions remain freeware, but with the introduction of CodeSmith Professional some new features (CodeSmith Studio for now) will become part of the CodeSmith Professional version. CodeSmith Studio makes creating your own custom templates a LOT easier.

For those of you who don't know what CodeSmith is, CodeSmith is a FREEWARE template-based code generator that can generate code for any ASCII-based language. CodeSmith templates use a syntax nearly identical to ASP.NET syntax so that creating templates should feel immediately familiar to ASP.NET developers.

Here is a summary of what's new:

  • Full blown IDE for editing templates.
  • Tons of improvements to CodeSmith Explorer.
  • New help content to help get you started.
  • It should now be possible to run CodeSmith as a non-Administrator user.
  • Dramatically improved compiler performance on templates.
  • Lots of new sample templates and applications.
  • Schema Explorer now provides access to even more schema information including extended properties.
  • Too many other minor enhancements and bug fixes to list.

    • The ide looks cool :)

    • CODE SMITH IS NOT A FREEWARE !!!

      It's a SHAREWARE !!!

      Please correct that, in all your web pages.

      You lie when you say that it is a freeware !!

    • Hi,



      I have been using CodeSmith since 2.1, also have been following the beta trail. But I am also slightly confused about the licensing of the new released CodeSmith 2.5, its asking me to buy or try, does it it mean that after 30 days, I won't be able to use CodeSmith, if I don't buy it ?



      Regards,

      Richard

    • CodeSmith is still freeware. CodeSmith Studio is not. I definately need to do a better job of explaining what's free and what's not free. I will try to get my website and the application itself to do a better job of explaining this. The bottom line is that you can use everything except CodeSmith Studio forever and ever without paying a dime.

    • HI, i downloaded CodeSmith studio but it wont work and it has not pass one day, not the full 30 trial days... How can i get it to work for at leas some days ?
