New version of SandCastle is available

The latest version of SandcastleGUI is available for download at http://www.inchl.nl. This release of SandcastleGUI targets the September CTP build of Microsoft's Sandcastle.

Microsoft did a great job fixing over 50 issues that were reported by customers, also they fixed over 500 work items to support the Orcas (Visual Studio 2008) RTM.

Microsoft's Sandcastle September 2007 CTP build does no longer contain the .NET framework reflection data. Because this data can be generated in runtime it didn't make sense to include over 500 MB of reflection data into an installation file.

Also for each version of the .NET framework and the chosen Sandcastle template this reflection data is different.

SandcastleGUI introduces a new feature that allows caching of this data because the generation of it is very time consuming.
