SUPPORT FOR MICROSOFT .NET FRAMEWORK 3.5
Use Microsoft .NET 3.5 features in templates - including LINQ - simply by setting the CompilerVersion attribute on CodeTemplate to "v3.5".

NEW AND UPDATED TEMPLATES
We’ve included several new templates and updates to some of our most popular template libraries: .netTiers 2.3; updated NHibernate templates;

 PLINQO template improvements; Many more sample templates and frameworks are written in VB including the newly updated NHibernate templates and the PLINQO templates.

PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS
With optimizations to caching and improvements in SchemaExplorer we have greatly reduced the time it takes to run templates. For example, on a large database using CodeSmith .netTiers Templates the generation time went from 12 minutes to just under 2 minutes.

IMPROVED CODESMITH PROJECTS
Manage outputs easier, works with source control, generates single file outputs, smooth custom tool upgrades, create code behind files, set build actions, and much more...
