After a round of private Alpha/Beta for GhostDoc we are excited to release Beta 2 of GhostDoc and GhostDoc Pro and make it available as part of the public Beta program!

Version 4 is a major milestone for us with great new features and rewrites that we have done over the last year. Here are the most significant additions to the GhostDoc feature set:

• Visual Studio 2012 support
• (Pro) Source code Spell Checker
• C/C++ language support
• XML Comment Preview
• StyleCop Compliance – comments generated by GhostDoc are now pass StyleCop validation
• Exception Documentation - exceptions raised within a method are documented in the XML Comment
• (Pro) File Header menu and template
• (Pro) Visual Studio toolbar with commands for documenting, comment preview and spell-checking
• (Pro) Options -> Global Properties - allows to reference custom configured user properties within T4 templates (CodeIt.Right users will find this very familiar)
• (Pro) IntelliSense in the T4 template editor
• Version update notification – you won’t miss new version release ever again!
