Visual Studio T4 Editor is finally out!.

Today we released a new version of the T4 Editor.

You didn't heard about T4 templates or Text Transformations, before?, That's a technology made by P&P and was used by the DSL Tools team to able to run text transformations in its projects. Now the T4 template bits will be available for free as a part of the VS Orcas, so you would be run your own transformations in your projects for free. For example a common case is the artifacts generation from a database.

Some of the features of the new T4 Editor:

- Intellisense on directives and attribute values.
