Rash thoughts about .NET, C#, F# and Dynamics NAV.

I’m happy to annouce the FAKE 2.4 release with F# 3.1 support.

What’s new?

• F# 3.1 support
• Unified the parameters for all test frameworks
• New options for MSBuild task
• FAKE kills all created processes before it’s exits
• New tasks which allow to update nuget packages
• Removed the old file globbing and only using the new
• Unified the use of the ProcessHelper
• Support for Dynamics NAV 2013 R2
• Allow to specify nuget dependencies by framework version

Getting started

If you new to FAKE you should read the getting started guide or clone the new F# ProjectScaffold.

Go and grab the bits

Thanks to the 6 new ccontributors in the last months we are now 45! That’s so awesome.

Feel free to contact me if you need help for the upgrade.

In earlier posts I showed how we can use F# type providers to access Dynamics NAV 2009 via Web Services and Dynamics NAV 2013 via OData. This time I want to point to a new type provider which allows Dynamics NAV data access directly via the SQL Server. The new type provider aims to be a replacement for C/Front.NET and gives a much nicer API.

It’s already available on nuget and has documentation with a “getting started guide”.
