DocProject 1.6.2 was released and is now available for download on CodePlex.
I want to thank all of DocProject's users that took the time to report bugs and provide diagnostic information to me. You've been helpful.
Recently, Anand blogged about DocProject and some of the other community projects that can automate Sandcastle to generate help for managed APIs. After his post, DocProject's rate of download increased by three times and then kept increasing. And since then I've certainly received more feedback than usual. Thanks Anand!
Updates
The latest release addresses some issues that users were reporting relating to the refresh version of the June 2007 CTP of Sandcastle, which was released a few days after its original release. I would have updated DocProject sooner if I knew :)
There is also support now for adding external sources (assemblies and corresponding xml documentation). This new feature also provides support for Web Site Projects since you must use a Web Deployment Project to generate a managed assembly, which can be added as an external source for your DocProject or DocSite.
In Progress
Currently, I'm looking at providing the ability to create and manage custom topics. I noticed that in Sandcastle's June 2007 CTP refresh there are some transformations and files related to conceptual topics. That sounds interesting to me and may be the feature that people have been asking me to add. I'll definitely research this more.
