Expanding the forum's scope

Mon, 13 Nov 2006 21:51:40 Z

You might have noticed the change to the name and description of this forum. We’ve expanded its scope from debugging/mdbg to general managed-code tool development. This includes debuggers, profilers, IL compilers, obfuscators, health monitors etc.

We appreciate the participation so far involving mdbg and are looking forward to additional discussions in the area of tool development. If you’re unsure of whether or not the forum is appropriate for your question, please don’t hesitate to ask. We’ll ensure it gets routed appropriately.
