The Discussion

  ha, funny you talked about dx.h, because Kenny Kerr's reaction was like this:

  so what can we expect from Milan update?

• 

  @felix9: Well, as you can see (and hear) from the conversation here with Garrett, it was no small task to get C++ support into NuGet ... I'd say use it and provide useful feedback to the NuGet team so they know where the rough edges are - there's bound to be edge cases given the complexity of C++ projects... This is early days for this technology, so it will only get better in time. Without any specific information from the tweets you shared, there is no way of knowing the precise problems faced by the tweeters...

  @Alex: The update in this case is an informational one (how many folks have downloaded the CTP, bugs found, what the team has learned, etc...).

  Do you try package Qt 5?

• 

  @KindDragon:No, not yet. I know there are some community folks that would like to do that.We're focused on a bunch of smaller libraries first.

  Top show chaps, and good to hear about 'Milan' - we where getting worried

  Is there any chance of a Going Native special to coincide with BUILD 2013. I gather from some passing comments Herb Sutter has made publically that there will be lots of native goodies there, so it would be awesome if you folks could pull it all together in a wrap up (or similar) episode.

  @tomkirbygreen: We'll probably be GoingNative live at build as part of C9 Live

  So, yes. Absolutely!

  Really glad to hear about the CMake support being worked on! :-)
  
  // BTW, are there any thoughts on joining efforts with the Ryppl project /* http://ryppl.org/ */? The final comment about Boost made me think about that, and there seems to be some significant overlap in form of the common goals.

  @Charles: I think Garrett Serack @fearthecowboy knows the problem, he retweeted one of those

• 

  Charles, question about Milan.
  
  I guess you can not reveal when the Milan features air. However when new C++11 features are released as production-ready, can we expect only what was in Milan or something new as well. I mean... it's been a long time.

  @Kris: You guess right?  I'm not the droid you're looking for.

  Love it!  Looking for the Boost nuget +10 Stars!!

  @Kris:the news on Milan is out there.
