We are added 2 new community contributions to our Tutorials page. Paulo Morgado posted a great template for CodeIt.Right Code File Header correction action that automatically generates file header compliant with StyleCop Rules.

We are also announcing today the availability of the new version for all three products - TestMatrix, CodeSpell and StudioTools - v2.1.10055 which adds support for Visual Studio 2010 RC.
