LifeCycle - Build Phase 1.0 has been released.

Over the past couple of years, I have been developing (and refactoring) the LifeCycle - Build Phase utility. This utility is an advance Visual FoxPro build utility, designed to run build scripts against full project solutions (multiple projects). I designed the utility to be very flexible and extendable. The user can design multiple types build scripts (build styles), and schedule them to be preformed at set times and intervals (via Scheduled Tasks). These build scripts are made up individual tasks, stringed together like lines in a program. The tasks themselves are simple Visual FoxPro Class methods, freely distributed in a Tasks folder. I encourage others to design and develop additional Tasks that can be shared with other LifeCycle - Build Phase users.

The version you receive is compiled in Visual FoxPro 6.0, and has been test successfully in all later versions (6.0 to 9.0).

You can read more about this exciting new utility at http://www.GLRsoftware.com/LifeCycle.asp. You can download the free Light version here at Universal Thread download area (download #28218), or directly from my web site at http://www.GLRsoftware.com/Download.asp#LifeCycle.exe.

The initial download is free (Light version), but has limited features. But for a small fee, these limitation can be removed and transform the utility into a full feature version (Professional version).

Thanks, and please either reply to message with questions or concerns, or email me at LifeCycle@GLRsoftware.com
