We're just about to release v2009.2 and it would be a good idea to have an "accumulator" post that gathered together all the sneak peeks of the new stuff for the release. Sure, you could use that Search box up there and type in "v2009.2", but I'm going to save you all that time. See, your friends at DevExpress are always thinking of you. Besides which, Rachel told me to do this, and who am I to disagree?
In doing this, I was quite amazed at the results: the first sneak peek for the new v2009.2 was way back at the end of May and in the ten weeks since then we've been blogging up a storm. This release is, in every sense of the word, major. At the very least I would grab a drink and some popcorn, click on the final link of all, and watch the videos we've made on the new features you'll be using very soon now.
