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

Today I released FAKE 2.6 with support for TravisCI and much better mono support.

What’s new?

• Fix: FileIncludes use stable order #270 
• Fix: ReleaseNotes parsing was improved #275
• Feature: Some new git helpers
• Using latest SharpZipLib
• Fix: Fixed all unit tests on mono
• Feature: runWithRetry helper #289
• Fix: FAKE is more careful when it tries to kill processes #291
• FAKE has TravisCI build where it builds itself

Getting started

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

Go and grab the bits

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

As part of a longer process of making FSharpx better maintainable I created a new project called FSharp.Configuration. It contains type providers for the configuration of .NET projects:

• AppSettings (extracted from FSharpx)
• ResX (by Phil Trelford)
• Yaml (by Vasily Kirichenko)

Additonal information:

• Nuget package
• Source code (Apache 2.0 License)

Please tell me what you think.

I’m happy to annouce the new release of the FSharpx.Collections package on nuget.

Most important changes:

• We extracted all collections into a new repositiory.
• We have documentation and samples (even for C#).
• PersistentVector<T> doesn’t require equality constraints on T.
• We did some basic performance tests.
• We added PersistentHashMap.
• The build process uses FAKE and FSharp.Formatting via the FSharp.ProjectScaffold.

Please tell me if it works for you.
