We published new Beta build of CodeIt.Right - added new rule, a number of UI improvements and bug fixes. Give it a try.
We will be rather quiet for two weeks - Misha is traveling up here to Seattle for the Microsoft MVP Global Summit. We both will be busy with the Summit and events around it. Misha is very excited about the trip - this is his first time in Seattle and United States. We both will take few days off and go ski at Crystal Mount. We've worked hard getting CodeIt.Right Beta out and certainly going to enjoy the time off - just to rejuvenate before we jump on the next set of improvements :)
That doesn't mean we will go incommunicado - there will be no new CodeIt.Right builds for two weeks that's all. We are leaving two developers in the shop and Stuart as usually will be on the top of the support issues. I will make sure I follow up on support cases at least every other day.

- ADDED: Progress window for parsing code, loading references and running code analysis
- ADDED: Progress window the Correct Checked operation

New build of CodeIt.Right Beta is available for download
Change list:
- IMPROVED: Windows Vista compatibility. CodeIt.Right still requires you run VS2005 "As Administrator" but so is VS2005 itself. We all hope that expected soon VS2005 SP1 update for Vista will help to address the Vista issues for Visual Studio
- FIXED: Now compatible with 64 bit versions of Windows.
- ADDED: Auto-generated Designer.cs and Designer.vb files are now ignored
- FIXED: Rule "Types that own disposable fields should be disposable" ignores static classes
- FIXED: setup doesn't run "devenv.exe /setup" - install/uninstall speed improved, resolves issues related to resetting 3rd-party VS Add-In custom settings and re-enabling disabled Add-Ins.
We are still working on the memory use optimization.
NOTE: Please take a look at the Flash presentations as they help to understand CodeIt.Right better.
Build 1.0.07040 can be downloaded here - http://submain.com/download/codeit.right
