New version of NuGet 1.3 Packet Manager released

A new version of the NuGet package manager for projects based on the .NET platform is available for download. Among the innovations on the official website are the following:

• integration with www.symbolsource.org for simplified publication of the NuGet package with source codes. Details can be found in this article or in this video of the MIX'11 conference report;
  
• A new Open-PackagePage team with the ability to access specific web resources related to the package: license, official page, message package complaint. Details of the use of the command and its syntax are discussed in the announcement ;
  
• performance improvements: Visual Studio added caching of loaded packages to not load the same packages several times; the mechanism is configured in the Visual Studio 2010 options panel. Another aspect of performance improvement concerns using HTTP compression when downloading and installing packages in Visual Studio ;
  
• Now NuGet.exe and integration components in Visual Studo use the same location for storing information about package sources;
  
• NuGet now ignores files and folders that start with a dot character for better compatibility with Subversion and other version control systems. This behavior can be overridden by special flags;
  
• thanks to community support, NuGet now supports even more types of projects, added support for WiX and .NET Micro Framework projects;
  
• The list of corrected errors can be found at this link .

The official announcement of the new version of NuGet is available on the official website . In addition, you can read the corresponding blog entry Phil Haak .
