Updated Release: Sandcastle-June 2010 Release (Version 2.6.1062.1) (Jun 23, 2010)

In this release:

Sandcastle code and tools that were used to produce the Visual Studio 2010/.NET Framework 4 documentation.
Updated set of .NET 4 reflection files
Over 100 bug fixes and improvements. (see the Changes/bug fixes document for details.) It was a large list of changes that were made and many of the fixes were for our own internal build process and not applicable to the Sandcastle project. I went through the entire list and attempted to include only the ones that were Sandcastle relevant and tried to make the titles descriptive about what the change is and what files were touched. If you have questions about any specific change, let me know.
Microsoft Help Viewer 1.0 format (MSHC) support - Support for creation of xhtml files to be used in the new Microsoft Help System that was released with Visual Studio 2010 (see the MSHC Usage notes for known issues and usage instructions)

Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - Just works and does something incredibly useful since the raw XML output of the compiler doesn't help much. I do recommend using Sandcastle Help File Builder though. And to danpeay: Don't give a documentation compiler one star because it doesn't edit chm files (just to be clear: it's not supposed to).

Rated 4 Stars (out of 5) - This project is very useful. We've used it to create documentation for several projects in Patterns & Practices, such as Composite Application Library (Prism) and Web Client Software Factory. There is still some room for improvement in flexibility and styles. Keep up the good work.

Rated 5 Stars (out of 5) - The rampup is steep, so get SandCastle Help File Builder. This is a very promising framework. Once integrated in VS via SHFB it will become a defacto standard.

Rated 1 Stars (out of 5) - I just want to change a few things in a chm file. I can't figured out how this will help me.

Rated 1 Stars (out of 5) - This is insanely complex for what's needed, converting XML into HTML.
