Today is a big day for Catel. The first official beta for version 3.0 has just been released!

Where to get it?

There are two ways of getting the latest release.

1) Download the setup package here, it will install the templates, code snippets, assemblies and docs (recommended)

2) Get the latest pre-release packages via NuGet

What to expect?

Recently, I wrote a blog post of what is coming in the new Catel 3.0 release. However, is is a short summary:

• New assemblies that are now the same for all target frameworks
• Non-generic views
• ViewModelLocator and ViewLocator
• FluentValidation extensions (available as a separate extension)
• and much more improvements!

Where are the new docs?

The latest documentation ships with the setup package as CHM file. However, you can also view the latest documentation here:
