Release Notes

THIS RELEASE IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH THE SANDCASTLE JUNE 2010 RELEASE (v2.6.10621.1) WITHOUT A REBUILD. USE THE 1.9.0.0 RELEASE OR LATER WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE.

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, 1.8.0.2, and 1.8.0.3. 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. The latest patch release is required if you plan on including F# syntax sections in your API topics.

Makes sandcastle easy.

Very Impressed! Well maintained project with a lot of features, format options and ability to do your own customizations. Simplifies the process of generating documentation, so it saves you a LOT of time (and command line nonsense). I recommend you use GhostDoc along with this. Hats off to the developer... very talented and provides good support as well.

Just works and does something incredibly useful since the raw XML output of the compiler doesn't help much. I do recommend using Sandcastle Help File Builder though. And to danpeay: Don't give a documentation compiler one star because it doesn't edit chm files (just to be clear: it's not supposed to).
