Announcing the first NServiceBus Hackathon

Things have been going well here at NServiceBus so we wanted to take this opportunity to give back to the community.

We’re running a hackathon over the next 10 days to see who can build the most awesome NServiceBus-based solution.

First prize is $10,000 and the other prizes are pretty good too.

I’m afraid that only people attending the Norwegian Developers Conference (NDC) in Oslo this year are eligible.

Full information here: http://www.nservicebus.com/HackathonOslo2012.aspx

 

Looking forward to seeing what you all will come up with.

 

Best regards,

NServiceBus 3.2 Released

We’re happy to announce the release of NServiceBus 3.2.

Much more than an incremental improvement on version 3.0, this version comes with our Visual Studio integrated modeling tools (that we’re calling NSB Studio). Udi gave a demo of these tools at Skills Matter last month and the recording is available for viewing here.

When you download 3.2, the “getting started” docs will walk you through everything you need to know about NSB Studio.

The list of all the other major changes is online and can be found here.

Version 2.5 SP1 Release Candidate Available

We’re happy to announce the availability of a release candidate for the service pack of version 2.5. This rolls up several bug fixes and enhancements to version 2.5 and is the most robust version of NServiceBus to date.

NServiceBus 2.0 RTM

We’re happy to announce the generally available release of version 2.0 of NServiceBus – the biggest release we’ve done to date.

After the last few tweaks from the last release candidate and positive experience reports from key customers, we recommend users move to this version to enjoy greater stability, scalability, and simplicity.

Download from http://www.NServiceBus.com now.

Release Candidate 2 Available

We’re happy to announce the availability of the second release candidate for version 2.0 of NServiceBus.

With the internalization of Common.Logging, versioning conflicts between NServiceBus and other OSS frameworks have been resolved. Also a programmatic API has been added for the configuration of log4net simplifying the integration and extensibility of logging. Finally, the assembly scanning now makes it much easier to exclude unmanaged assemblies.

With several other small enhancements and bug fixes, developers will find this version to be much more stable and lower-friction than before.

Download here.
