Thanks for everyone's patience... the December 2005 release of GAT/GAX for Visual Studio 2005 RTM is now available for download. This is a minor update from the earlier May 2005 CTP - the most significant change is that it works with the final VS2005 bits, but it also features several minor improvements such as incorporating the new T4 text templating engine, and support for recipe references on cascading menus.

This release is still branded a CTP as we are yet to finalize a plan for how this technology will converge with Visual Studio, but this release is feature complete and has been tested extensively.

As always, we welcome your feedback and comments on this forum!
