Brand new template editor integrated right into Visual Studio 2010!
Vastly improved IntelliSense with even more improvements to come before the final release. Support for directives, extension methods, lambdas, generics, and more!
Brand new parsing engine that should provide much better template errors as well as a great foundation to build on for the future.
.NET 4.0 support in templates.
SchemaExplorer collections have been updated to use generic collections that give a bunch of new features like LINQ support. *Breaking change that requires only a recompile of existing templates.
PropertyGrid has been updated to allow property filtering, collection editing, default instance creation, auto expanding of objects and much more.
New default property serializer that will enable serialization of just about any object and not require custom property serializers to be written. You can now just create an object in the template and use it as a property type.
Brand new Template Explorer that provides complete shell context menus and other features. If you are using something like Tortoise for version control, you will now have access to those features right inside of Template Explorer.
64bit assembly support.
Most of the engine is multi-threaded and should make better use of multiple core machines.
Updated the ISeriesSchemaProvider to include filters to allow wild cards % and _ in the filters.
Added ISeriesSchemaProvider configuration setting to control the CommandTimeout on large schema’s.
Fixed a bug that caused Configuration to call LoadDefault multiple times.
