Yesterday the MSDN page for CAB went live with the final bits for both C# and Visual Basic .NET.

We did not intend to change the C# code from the November release. However, we coded ourselves into a bit of a corner, and the VB port caused us to make some small but necessary API changes (stuff that hardly anybody would notice). We thought that API compatibility was of the utmost importance between C# and VB, so we decided to re-release C#.

Being typical developers, we seized the re-release opportunity to fix a few bugs from the community in both the C# and VB release. If you've previously downloaded the November release, it's worth downloading the December one and using that instead. We released a list of things we changed and fixed between November and December.

We also released our first Sample Visualizations package to the GotDotNet community. Right now it only includes a single simple visualization which can show the WorkItem hierarchy of a running CAB application. Just as important, it includes some preliminary documentation on how the visualizer system works in CAB and what is required to write your own visualizations. Hopefully we'll be able to release new sample visualizations on a regular basis that provide additional debugging assistance for CAB developers and administrators.

Next up: sample code on using ObjectBuilder as a true dependency injection container.
