Coding Obsession

Today Jeff Brown announced the release of Gallio and MbUnit v3.04. Many thanks and congratulations to him and all the people that contributed to this release: Vadim Kreynin, Yann Trévin, Graham Hay, and Francois Retief.

I was really impressed by the amount and quality of the new features. Some of the most noteworthy ones in my opinion are the AssertEx.That syntax, the Gallio.Ambience object store, and the highlighting of differences in assertions.

I’ve been away from Gallio and MbUnit the last couple of months for a number of personal reasons, but I’m quite glad to see that we’ve got new people contributing with their time and skills, and once more I’m amazed by Jeff’s energy to keep working so hard on all this stuff.

Oh, and before I forget it, the Gallio Book is now online. I wrote the getting started chapter (right now the code listings don’t look good, but I hope we can fix that soon) and helped a little more, but it was Jeff who got the publishing done at the end. There’s not too much content so far, so people are really welcome to contribute.

I don’t like blog posts that just link to other posts, but I really needed to start blogging again (I’ve only being maintaining my personal non-tech blog in the last couple of months), and today I have a really good excuse to do it: Silverlight 2 was released! Tim Heuer wrote a very detailed post with all the details about this release (a must read), and of course ScottGu also blogged about it.

During the week I’ll try to update a little application (a log viewer) I wrote with the beta 2 and see how it works. I’m particularly interested in seeing the new controls and the improvements on the old ones. But anyway, I have to get back to work now!
