Microsoft killed NDoc when they released a CTP/Beta version of Sandcastle, and I rarely see information about new version of a usable version of sandcastle (with an integrated UI for example). The lates开发者_JAVA技巧t realease is the May 2008 release. Is Sandcastle a dead project or will it be included with Visual Studio 2010 ?

Well, according to their blog, the latest version was used to build the documentation used to ship Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1, so the project does not look dead. Granted, that post was on July 2nd, 2009, so it is questionable how many changes are going into it...

A new release is imminent - it has been delayed, but should be available pretty soon. It is expected to be a noticeable update, including support for .NET 4.

Try contacting the developer, Steven Pei? He's been online on that site within a few months, so that's a good sign, at least.

Sandcastle itself may not have changed in a while, but it is the engine. The supporting tools, such as SHFB have had recent releases.
