FinalBuilder 3 Advances Automated Software Builds

Canberra, Australia (PRWEB) February 14, 2005

FinalBuilder 3 adds significant enhancements to it's inituitive graphical user interface, and now includes over 280 built in actions for developers to craft their build and release process. Many .Net tools are now natively supported, including XenoCode, Demeanor, Dotfuscator, and comprehensive support of .Net compilers from Microsoft and Borland.

"The real power of FinalBuilder is being able to visually define and debug your build process, using techniques such as exception handling, and sub-procedures, without resorting to hand coded xml or batch files" says Vincent Parrett, CEO of VSoft Technologies, "and now with FinalBuilder 3 we have significantly enhanced the user experience and broadened the built in support for 3rd party products".

Subversion is fully supported, and support for Sourcegear Vault and Microsoft Visual SourceSafe has been greatly enhanced. FinalBuilder 3 also supports the ZeroG installation products, as well as Nullsoft NSIS and InstallAware from MimarSinan.

FinalBuilder 3 introduces a new companion product, FinalBuilder ActionStudio, which makes developing plugins for FinalBuilder a breeze. "One of the most common questions our customers were asking, is 'can I create my own custom actions using .NET?'" says Vincent Parrett, "with ActionStudio we decided to go one further and make it possible to define actions and then implement them using ActiveScript, COM, or any Microsoft .Net compatible programming language."

The ActionStudio IDE includes an advanced script editor with syntax highlighting and automatic code hints and completion as well as an embedded form designer. End users can use ActionStudio to develop plugins which automate inhouse tools or provide custom processing as part of their build process.

FinalBuilder 3 is an end-to-end build and release management system; capable of automating the entire build process, everything from integration with version control systems, compilation of source code, deployment, and burning a CD or

DVD is all possible.

FinalBuilder 3 dramatically accelerates the software development cycle by automating the software build process. As well as increasing the speed and reliability of the build process, it also increases staff productivity by relieving them of the repetitive and error prone tasks.

Pricing starts at $379 per developer for FinalBuilder 3 Standard Edition and $499 per developer for FinalBuilder 3 Professional Edition.
