WiX toolset bug count after April 16th, 2009.

Whew. After a relatively easy bug night last week, getting under 10 bugs in the WiX toolset felt like a real effort tonight. The big changes we made in the last few weeks (like heat and language fallback support in MSBuild) are still regressing and a couple extension bugs caught us by surprise.

Fortunately, Mike did a killer job on the hard extension bug and Brian (heat) and Eric (MSBuild language fallback) did a fantastic job working through the regressions in their areas. Justin also finally ramped back into VS2005 and killed an old bug there. All in all, a good fight to drive our bug count below 10 for the first time ever. It's going to be a fight like this for a while as we slowly work towards a 48-hour zero bug goal. Lots of old Votive to get through first.

On a truly happy note, I now have verification of my new release plan for WiX v3.0. Expect to see that posted sometime over the weekend. I think you're going to like it.

Congratulations on bringing the bug count further down!

Is there any information included in the roadmap about when initial versions of Burn will be available in the WiX toolset?

@Wouter, yes the roadmap covers WiX v3.0 and WiX v3.5.
