1) What's New

This release focuses on the elimination of a number of critical bugs mostly related to issues concerning the compatibility between Magic Library and .NET 1.1. This means that some things had to be temporarily disabled and that others have significantly improved. A number of 'favorite gripes' have also been adressed. Overall, stability and performance have improved and a number of add-in tools has been added.

Known issues: code completion database generation can take very long, so please be patient or stick with the Fast generation option.

4) Where to Report Bugs

We do have an automatic error reporting dialog when #develop crashes with an unhandled exception. It will automatically take you to

http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/BugReporting.aspx

where you can paste the error information. On non-exception bugs, go to the above location and provide us with .NET and OS version information.

In both cases, please do not forget to provide us with step by step instructions to reproduce the bug. Thank you for helping make #develop a more functional and stable product!
