SSDT RTM releases\updates

Question

Hi SSDT Team,

I am very happy with this new tool, and would like to know if you have already planned a date for a new release\update\hotfix (just for bugfixes), and where will I find the new downloads: I am checking on MSDN (both public and Subscribers Downloads), SSDT and Connect (Visual Studio) web pages... are them the right places to get the new updates immediately as released?

Thank you very much

Alberto

Hi Alberto,

We're in the process of planning an updated release of SSDT in the coming months-- please stay tuned to our blog http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ssdt/ for more details.  Thanks for the positive feedback on SSDT.  I'm curious if there are specific bugs you are concerned about or updates you're hoping to see in the next release.

Thanks,

Janet Yeilding

Hi Janet,

Thanks for your answer, will check the blog daily...

The 2 issues I am waiting for a fix to be published are the following:

From the forum posts I understand that both have been resolved in your internal releases.

Using the related workarounds I am not blocked, and I am converting all my projects, but I would like to have the tool functional 100% to get the maximum productivity boost: since all my projects are .net code + SQL Databases, I am very interested in SSDT (the tool I was waiting for many years).

Thanks again

Alberto
