Few days after our blog post about the autocomplete feature, we are now ready to unveil the mystery about two other features we asked you to guess.

This is basically generating content for each and every file, comparing this content with the one from the old file if available, and based on that writing it to the file system. And let’s of course not forget that we should also take into account the...

At the end of my previous blog post I mentioned that with Q2 2010 release we are starting to pay more attention to custom skinning of our controls. Along with the visual improvements we will be releasing additional scenario-specific and optimized themes.
