Hi everyone!

We've released the first CTP for the Clarius Software Factories Toolkit.

While still a very early preview this includes many of the most asked for features we've seen in this forum, like:

- support for conditional execution of actions and iteration of group of actions
- full VB.Net support
- scripting support for easily adding code right in the package manifest file, and eventing support for easily running recipes on VS events.
- Some DSL Integration support is also included in this early preview.
- Five samples packages demonstrating how to use the included features.
- Fixes to GAX well known issues like auto-checkout of .gpState file.
- Support for registering packages in the VS Experimental hive.
- Updated Teched 2005 Hands On Lab working against GAX/GAT June 2006 CTP (and updated doc too!).
- And more...

Please take a look at http://softwarefactoriestoolkit.net/ for more info (including short videos on features) and to download.

Thanks and I hope you can ease your GAX development using this!

-Victor.
