As you might already know, debugging Cake scripts using Visual Studio has been supported since the v0.12.0 release of Cake. But since the v0.16.1 release of Cake, thanks to porting Cake to .NET Core, it is now also possible to debug Cake files using Visual Studio Code.

I am very proud to announce the first release of the Cake for Visual Studio extension for Visual Studio 2015. This extension brings full syntax highlighting, integration with the Task Runner Explorer, special commands to get you started with Cake on new projects and new templates.

Version 0.16.1 of Cake has been released.

Following the release of Cake v0.16.0 last week, mholo65 identified an issue with debugging in Visual Studio Code. In addition, we also noticed that we were missing some properties in the generated assemblies.

As a result, v0.16.1 of Cake is now available.

Please let us know if you run into any issues with this latest release.

Full details of everything that was included in this release can be seen below.

Yeoman users rejoice! You can now bootstrap your project for Cake with Yeoman and the new generator-cake generator.

Version 0.16.0 of Cake has been released, and it's a big release!

Not only are we supporting the full .NET framework (v4.5), but from this version we will also support running Cake on platforms capable of running .NET Core (netstandard1.6).

For this to work, you will have to install the Cake.CoreCLR package instead of the normal Cake package. A blog post describing this more in detail will be published soon.

Please let us know if you run into any issues with this latest release.
