As promised, we have started working on nukeationMachine add-in for Blend. As of yesterday, we have successfully ported our Machine add-in from Visual Studio 2008 to Blend 1.0 and 2.0.
While further features are still being determined, here are the confirmed features:
- The entire WPF feature set and content library for nukeationMachine for VS2008 will be ported to the Blend version
- Additional 350 pieces of UI Bits will be developed specifically for designers
- A completely redesigned UX
- Complete integration with both Microsoft Expression Blend 1.0 and 2.0
- Cross-compatibility between nukeationMachine for VS2008
- UI Bits sharing and community features
- Designer-friendly convenience features
- Special support for Reuxables themes
Our current goal is to have nukeationMachine for Blend be released alongside the VS2008 edition in late September, with an early-adoption program in early September.
Stay tuned as we post more information over the coming week.
