Today we release WiX Toolset v3.10.1. As the ".1" indicates this is a maintenance release to fix an issue that couldn't wait for the next big release. Namely, some Windows XP support was broken due to changes in the VC++ compiler. Given that we were releasing again, we decided to take another high impact fix.

It is my pleasure to annouce that WiX Toolset v3.10 is now officially declared Production/Stable. This build contains a couple fixes beyond WiX v3.10 RC2 so you will want to download the latest release.

The WiX v3.10 release candidate 2 was released today.

During the WiX Online Meeting this week, someone commented on the fact that I use Bing as my search engine of choice. I then went off on a tangent where I mentioned using Bing funded my music habit. For anyone that was interested, I thought I'd expound how you too could get $5 gift cards to Amazon.com and fund your favorite habit.

The WiX v3.10 release candidate was released today.

The WiX Tutorial is one of the most comprehensive resources on the web to learn the WiX toolset. Ensuring this resource remains available and stays up to date aligns perfectly with our goals at FireGiant. For that reason I am excited to note that today FireGiant takes responsibility for the WiX Tutorial.

Today we launched a refresh of the FireGiant website. One driving factor for the update was Google's mobile-friendliness ranking adjustment rolled out last week. Our site is now responsive and should render better on smaller devices. But I'm most excited about the new FireGiant blog, Setup Matters.

When I was in high school and old enough to drive I got a job at McDonald's. I really liked that job. I learned many life lessons there that had absolutely nothing to do with flipping hamburgers. This morning I was thinking about one of those lessons.
