Few minutes ago Marc flipped the switch on the refresh of the <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/NN9NVD\"><strong>WIF tools for the RC of Visual Studio 2012<\/strong><\/a>. There\u2019s not a lot of news, this was mostly a stabilization effort; if you want to learn about what the tools do, <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/xAJ3Dr\">the original posts we did for Beta<\/a> are still valid. Also, last week I gave a <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/KxijIx\">presentation at TechEd USA about what\u2019s new in WIF 4.5<\/a>: the <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/NN9NVD\">tools<\/a> took a fairly big portion of the talk, so if you prefer videos to written text head to <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/KxijIx\">the recording on Channel9<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Here there are some sparse comments on the release:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We fixed tens of bugs, significantly improving the stability of the experience. Thank you all for your feedback, which helped us to track those down!<\/li>\n<li>The RC of the <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/NN9NVD\">tool<\/a> still requires you to run VS as administrator. That\u2019s unfortunate, I know: we are looking into it. However I have to give you a heads-up: during the TechEd talk I asked to the audience (~150) who would not be able to use the tools at all if they\u2019d require running VS as administrator, and only 3 raised their hands. If the running as admin is a complete blocker for you, please leave comments to this post or in the tools download pages ASAP. Thanks!<\/li>\n<li>Now for the good news: once you install the RC of the <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/NN9NVD\">tools<\/a>, the <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/xAJ3Dr\">WIF samples released for Beta<\/a> will keep working in VS 2012 RC without modifications<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>That\u2019s it. <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/NN9NVD\">Download<\/a>, code away &amp; be merry! <img decoding=\"async\" style=\"style\" class=\"wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile\" alt=\"Smile\" src=\"http:\/\/cloudidentity.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/1616.wlEmoticon_2D00_smile_5F00_4CBE6869.png\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear:both\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They\u2019re out, folks.
