A maintenance release of ReSharper, version 2.5.2., has been released. This version includes a number of bug fixes and a new evaluation model aimed at making things easier for evaluators and users.
In short, there are no more evaluation licenses. Just download, install and enjoy the product for 30 days! We only ask for one thing: after you've tried the software, select Submit Feedback from ReSharper menu and tell us your thoughts. We take feedback seriously.
On the topic of evaluation licenses, our ReSharper 3.0 EAP (Early Access Program) has also moved to the new no-license evaluation model. Here's how it works:
All EAP builds run under evaluation for 30 days; each EAP build restarts the evaluation period (released about once every two weeks)
Nightly builds can be downloaded, installed and used under the latest EAP evaluation; however, they do not renew the evaluation period
Also, an evaluation period starts when you first start using the software; it does not start and expire on pre-specified dates like it used to do in previous EAPs
This scheme will provide enough evaluation overlap to span the time between the most stable builds.
