Since our v1 release of Caliburn in October, we’ve had a healthy amount of bug fixes and feature improvements. The community has really gotten involved and contributed in a big way. The result of this contribution is the forthcoming v1.1. As of...

I’ve heard some developers asking about UI testing lately. Specifically, there have been some questions about what we did with NHProf. So, I thought I would write a little bit about that here. There are a variety of different types of tests you...
Hooray!!! I finally released Caliburn v1 to RTW and got the official site launched ! This has been a long time coming and I could not have done it without the generous help and support of the .NET community, family and friends. Many individuals contributed...

On Friday I published the Release Candidate for Caliburn. You can get it here . I’m hoping to only do bug fixes and a few minor changes between now and release. There have been quite a few important changes since the Beta: Refactored assemblies...
Recently Glenn Block asked some questions of the community concerning what support Microsoft should offer for the MVVM design pattern in WPF/Silverlight. I’d like to answer that question here, but in a round-about manner. I’m going to use...
Today is a long awaited day for me. Caliburn is now in official Beta. There have been many bug fixes and a ton of new features since the Alpha release last October. We’ve also been dogfooding it on several projects, one of which is...
