    Never heard of it. What is it? The github page for it doesn't even describe it, goes right into "dependencies." Typical programmer documentation. X| Marc

      They replaced the XML based build/project files with .json files. Unfortunately they ran into json limitations and now decided to go back to XML.

        Ah. Would be interesting to read what limitations they ran into. Marc

          From what I've read, it was more that they couldn't move every other VS project type to JSON at the same time, and they didn't want to have two separate project systems.

                    The other issue they were having is that there isn't an easy way to write comments into JSON.

                      That's the beauty of open sourcing your development. All the failed prototypes you abandon are out in public for the peanut gallery to snark at. :laugh:

                      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                        And we can all breath a sigh of relief. JSON is awesome for the things that it is awesome for. A config file that both humans and computers have to read is not one of those things.
