Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL)

This license governs use of the accompanying software. If you use the software, you accept this license. If you do not accept the license, do not use the software.

1. Definitions

The terms "reproduce," "reproduction," "derivative works," and "distribution" have the same meaning here as under U.S. copyright law.

A "contribution" is the original software, or any additions or changes to the software.

A "contributor" is any person that distributes its contribution under this license.

"Licensed patents" are a contributor's patent claims that read directly on its contribution.

2. Grant of Rights

(A) Copyright Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including the license conditions and limitations in section 3, each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce its contribution, prepare derivative works of its contribution, and distribute its contribution or any derivative works that you create.

(B) Patent Grant- Subject to the terms of this license, including the license conditions and limitations in section 3, each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license under its licensed patents to make, have made, use, sell, offer for sale, import, and/or otherwise dispose of its contribution in the software or derivative works of the contribution in the software.

3. Conditions and Limitations

(A) No Trademark License- This license does not grant you rights to use any contributors' name, logo, or trademarks.

(B) If you bring a patent claim against any contributor over patents that you claim are infringed by the software, your patent license from such contributor to the software ends automatically.

(C) If you distribute any portion of the software, you must retain all copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices that are present in the software.

(D) If you distribute any portion of the software in source code form, you may do so only under this license by including a complete copy of this license with your distribution. If you distribute any portion of the software in compiled or object code form, you may only do so under a license that complies with this license.

(E) The software is licensed "as-is." You bear the risk of using it. The contributors give no express warranties, guarantees or conditions. You may have additional consumer rights under your local laws which this license cannot change. To the extent permitted under your local laws, the contributors exclude the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

This release supports the Sandcastle May 2008 Release (v2.4.10520). The main goal of this release was to rework the help file builder project file format and build engine to ready them for use in a Visual Studio package that will provide full Visual Studio integration in a future release. This resulted in a number of major changes.

Be sure to read the Version History notes for version 1.8.0.0, 1.8.0.1, and 1.8.0.2. Projects created with version 1.7.0.0 and earlier will require conversion to the new MSBuild project format and the standalone GUI has undergone a major revision as well. See the topics in the Getting Started section for more information.

The standalone build components are integrated into the help file builder installer and are only needed if you intend on using them outside of the help file builder in your own build scripts.

The SharpDevelop SHFB Distribution is for use with SharpDevelop 3.x and later. See the FAQ in the help file for information on how to install it.

Presentation Style Patch - The presentation file patches are distributed via a separate CodePlex project (Sandcastle Styles) along with some related tools and guides.

This version is a Beta release. However, it has proven to be quite stable and is now the preferred release to use. If you find any bugs, please report them in the Discussions forum or Issue Tracker. Please be sure to specify the version number you are using to keep the issues separate from the prior releases. Thank you!

Reviews for this release

This utility is really useful for complex projects that don't have a lot of documentation.
