MSBuild Sidekick v2.1 Released

Team Foundation Sidekicks - MSBuild Sidekick 2.1 is available

"Talk about Fools' Day joke - but on 1st of April we have released version 2.1 of MSBuild Sidekick. This version contains quite a few bug fixes, but we managed to put several new features in it too:

• When .Net schema version is selected in Build Options dialog, the application now will use the appropriate set of MSBuild assemblies for the build (previous version used 3.5 to build 2.0 schema projects when .Net 3.5 Framework was installed). That way build can be performed with exactly the same version of the engine (no matter versions of .Net installed)

• Find and Refactoring dialogs all contain XML source windows and all list views are sortable

• The application supports registry properties for MSBuild 3.5 schema projects

• Auto version update is implemented

The new version is available here; if you have purchased license for 2.0 you can upgrade to version 2.1 at no cost. ..."

While MSBuild Sidekick v2+ is not free, we have a couple teams at work that are looking to move to TFS, with complex projects and build requirements, and I thought this utility might come in handy for them...
