Windows Template Studio 1.1 released!

We’re extremely excited to announce the Windows Template Studio 1.1. In partnership with the community, we’ve been cranking out and iterating new features and functionality. We’re always looking for additional people to help out and if you’re interested, please head to our GitHub at https://aka.ms/wts.

How to get the update:

There are two paths to update to the newest build.

Already installed: Visual Studio should auto update the extension. To force an update, Go to Tools->Extensions and Updates. Then go to Update expander on the left and you should see Windows Template Studio in there and click “Update.”
Not installed: Head to https://aka.ms/wtsinstall, click “download” and double click the VSIX installer.

What else is cooking for next versions?

We love all the community support and participation. We’re partnering with additional framework Caliburn.Micro and have a branch currently under development with Nigel Sampson. We’re talking with Prism and Template 10 to see how those frameworks can also be added in. In addition, here are just a few of the things we are currently building out:

Fluent design in the templates
Project Rome features as options for your project
Right-click->add support for existing projects
Localization in the wizard
Accessibility supported in both wizard and in the templates
