Thanks Rob, that was what I was expecting but just wanted to confirm.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] WiX Roadmap

No but I've been working up to it. I'm staring down Burn right now.
There
have been some pretty large changes in the project that have taken a
while
to solidify. I wasn't talking about it in case things didn't happen
(anyone
remember the WiX toolset shipping in VS then not? Yeah, me too.).  I'm
out
for a few days coming up and hope everything is locked when I get back.

Anyway, the original schedule looks something like:

WiX v3.5 ships a month or two after VS2010 ships with the following key
features:

1. Visual Studio 2010 support.
2. Burn.

We're clearly way off my original schedule (
http://robmensching.com/blog/posts/2009/7/14/Lets-talk-about-Burn) but
I'm
pretty sure WiX v3.5 ships before this time next year.

WiX v4.0 comes next. Full feature set is far from worked out but there
are
two things I know I want to do:

1. Code clean up. Just like the beginning of WiX v3.0, we need to spend
some
significant time cleaning up the code (the Binder in particular did not
fare
well in all the patching changes).
2. WiX language simplifications. You can see things that we've done
around
the File element and the auto-generated Component GUIDs. In WiX v4,
there is
more to do and in v4 we'll have the freedom to introduce breaking
changes if
necessary. Of course, we'll update WixCop.exe just like we did in WiX v2
->
WiX v3.

Feedback welcome.
