Hi All,
Apologies for any confusion I may have caused with regard to our support of Visual Studio 2005/.NET 2.0 in this latest release of MapXtreme 2005.
The MapXtreme team worked diligently to provide partial support of Visual Studio 2005 and the 2.0 .NET Framework with this latest release of MapXtreme 2005. As we approached our final round of testing it was clear that, however much we wished to provide this support, doing so would have introduced significant risk and perhaps instability to all customers. Rather than push our ship date out further we decided to ship MapXtreme 2005 and provide support with a subsequent release. We understand that this support is a must-have for our customers and we will do all we can to deliver it in the short term. Here is our plan:
- This March 2006 MapInfo is planning to have an early access and unsupported version of MapXtreme 2005 available for download that is compatible with Visual Studio 2005 and the .NET 2.0 Framework. This download will be a time-bound version and will likely have several known issues. The intent is to get customers started with VS2005 and .NET 2.0 while we work towards a fully supported release. The download and any updates to this plan can be found here: http://extranet.mapinfo.com/products/Download.cfm?ProductID=1849&productcategoryid=1
- MapInfo's goal for May 2006 is to provide a fully supported version of MapXtreme 2005 that is fully compatible with .NET 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005. This will be a full public release (likely V6.6).
Thank you for your patience and as always, please feel free to contact me directly with any questions or concerns.
