Content Bloom is pleased to announce the release of Alchemy4Tridion version 0.6. One of the exciting key features of this release is the brand new Alchemy4Tridion Developer Pack, a Visual Studio Extension that can be found on the Visual Studio Gallery.

For those who have not yet heard of Alchemy4Tridion (A4T).  It’s a plugin framework that enables developers to quickly and efficiently extend Tridion and RWS Web through its various extension points.  It also allows users to easily discover and install plugins created by the community. Now with tools built into Visual Studio, developers will be able to extend like they never have before!

The A4T Developer Pack features include:

– Various item templates for the different extensions that your plugin can contain

– The use of the Plugin Project Template that allows you to create a new plugin from scratch

– Access to the prototype Converter Project Template that automatically converts an existing GUI extension to an Alchemy plugin

For a complete list of fixes and new features included in the 0.6 release, please refer to the complete Alchemy4Tridion 0.6 changelog.
