Updater Application Block for .NET 2.0 Released

Tuesday, May 30, 2006 11:00:00 PM (Central Standard Time, UTC-06:00)
I was a bit surprised to see an update to the UAB released last week.  The reason I was surprised is that the release last year was supposed to be the final release… the qoute below is taken from the UAB 2.0 documentation.
 
"An updated version of the Updater Application Block that uses Enterprise Library June 2005 will soon be available. Following this, there are no plans for another release of the Updater Application Block. The .NET Framework 2.0 and Visual Studio 2005 include a new deployment technology, named ClickOnce, to address these same technical challenges. Better alignment to this new technology was one of the main design goals for this release."
 
Although there was no feature enhancements I am glad to see they updated the application block to .NET 2.0 and fixed some bugs.  In addition, with Enterprise Library 2006 for .NET 2.0 you can now consolidate the configuration files, which is really a pain in the previous version of the Enterprise Library.
