NuGet!

We're on NuGet! Our build process now includes an automatic upload of WebSync and RestEasy packages to the NuGet gallery. Check out the (rather lengthy) list of packages available here:

To install WebSync Server for .NET 3.5, simply run the following command from your NuGet console:

Install-Package FM.WebSync.Server.Net35

Want the WebSync client for Windows Phone 7.1? Simply run:

Install-Package FM.WebSync.WP71

We're big fans of convention over configuration, so we tried to keep the naming as simple as possible. Each NuGet package represents a single assembly, and has the same name as the assembly it contains + a platform suffix. We tried to keep the platform suffixes as predictable as possible:

• .NET 2.0 = Net20
• .NET 3.5 = Net35
• .NET 4.0 = Net40
• .NET 4.5 = Net45
• .NET 2.0 Compact Framework = Net20CF
• .NET 3.5 Compact Framework = Net35CF
• JavaScript = JS
• Silverlight 3 = SL3
• Silverlight 4 = SL4
• Silverlight 5 = SL5
• Windows Phone 7.0 = WP70
• Windows Phone 7.1 = WP71
• Windows Phone 8.0 = WP80
• Windows 8 = Win8

NuGet supports packaging assemblies for multiple platforms into a single package, but unfortunately limits the available platforms to a small subset of what we support. We are looking into a way to avoid the platform suffix, but for now, it makes WebSync and RestEasy available with NuGet simplicity on all the platforms we need to support.
