v3.5.2229.0 was recently declared an RC (Release Candidate) which means it has for some time now been restricted in the kinds of changes allowed to be checked in to preserve stability. With this morning's build of v3.5.2312.0 (which would be RC3) v3.5 should be very close to "done". You can check the bugs on SF to see what "remains" to be considered/included for v3.5 if you wish. So, v3.5 is considered very stable and something you can depend on not changing much.
V3.6 still has some more work, but except for details in candle & light related to bundles (since that is how burn packages are assembled) there are not very many other likely changes to those two tools. -----Original Message----- From: Paden, Patrick [mailto:patrick.pa...@wolterskluwer.com] Sent: Friday, November 12, 2010 12:15 PM To: wix-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: [WiX-users] Stability question of 3.5/3.6 I am new to WiX, and I am liking it (just wanted to give a kudos) I have a requirement to place .NET 4.0 files into the GAC >From the many forums I have been pouring through, it seems that using the stable version of WiX 3.0 is not an option at all without recompiling (which has crossed my mind) Light.exe's app.config file with the <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" /> (if I had read correctly) Though the easy route would be to use the unstable WiX 3.5/3.6 which does have the functionality for .NET 4 There are many tools in the WiX project. If I only use candle and light (this is a hope, cannot hurt to ask) and not the other tools, would those be considered stable in the WiX 3.5/3.6 version? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Patrick Paden ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Centralized Desktop Delivery: Dell and VMware Reference Architecture Simplifying enterprise desktop deployment and management using Dell EqualLogic storage and VMware View: A highly scalable, end-to-end client virtualization framework.
