WPF Diagrams

Web Workbench

- Added support for Sass @each loops
SimpleDB Management Tools
As usual, free editions from the downloads page, retail editions from the store, and VS2010 extensions from the Updates tab in Extension Manager.
We’ve just added a handy new feature to SimpleDB Management Tools — you can now export the data in a SimpleDB domain to a file for offline processing. It’s as simple as clicking the new Export button!
The export function respects the current filter so you can enter a SELECT statement to export a subset of your domain. At the moment we only support exporting to XML, but if you want us to add export to other formats then just drop us a line in the forum and we’ll see what we can do.
For VS2010 users, the new build is available now from the Visual Studio Gallery — just jump into Extension Manager, click the updates tab and wait for a minute while Visual Studio goes “No updates available! No updates available! No up– oh, look, here’s one!” For VS2008 users, it will be available from the Mindscape store in about 12 hours’ time. Enjoy!
This week I have been mostly squirting cats. However, one does not live for pleasure alone. Here’s what we’ve shipped in this week’s builds. Available, as usual, from the downloads page (free editions) or the store (retail editions).
LightSpeed
- Added the option to create a blank migration if there are no changes to apply, and a command to clear all proposed deltas so you can code them by hand from scratch instead of modifying the designer generated ones
- Fixed an error in Visual Studio if you try to run a migrations project which contains no migrations
- Updated the SQLite provider to 1.0.74, and switched back to mixed mode assembly.
- Fixed MySQL extractor to infer tinyint(1) as boolean. Again
- Fixed a LINQ error with queries of the form Where(x => x.Assoc.Id…)
- Changed how uniqueness validation works when the unique field is declared on a non-leaf class in a STI hierarchy
Web Workbench
We’ve made a number of fixes around spurious syntax errors on CSS selectors and the like. We know there are still a few more to go so please let us know if you still see spurious syntax errors!
We’ve made a couple of other fixes to do with processing of Sass and Less imports, and around outlining of Sass and Less files. We’ve also improved the presentation of Sass compiler error messages.
SimpleDB Management Tools
- Fix for the list of domains being truncated if you had more than 100 domains
