I noticed that quite a lot of you downloaded the Package Explorer release candidates. Great to hear and I hope you like the features!
And what you'll probably like to hear is that I am working on the code again to complete the app. I haven't had too much time available while starting up my company, but things are going forward nicely and I have some evenings or weekends available again.
The latest feature: The start page shows live RSS feeds from the Open XML development world. I just need to fine-tune the feature to allow you to turn it off (think slow internet access etc…)
The app initializes with my buddy Doug, Open XML Developer, and duh, myself obviously J, in the RSS feed list, which you can configure from the tools pane:
When you click on a RSS message in the start page, the message is opened in a separate browser window (another new built-in feature of Package Explorer 3.0)
Hope you like the feature and that it will allow you to keep up to date with Open XML related things.
(Oops, and I notice a small issue with my browser control in the last image, can you spot it? J )
