Where are ReSharper 3.0 plugin document and samples

Hello Ali,

We update Power Toys after 3.0 is released to ensure "upgrade path" document
for existing plugins is up to date. In other words, we get 2.5 plugins, update
them for 3.0 (for 3.0.1 actually) and record changes we have to make. This
way existing plugin developers can have a guide to upgrade their plugins
for the new version. We already have some fixes in 3.0.1 (critical update)
which will affect plugin developers. I think updated docs will be available
sometime very soon after 3.0.1 is released.

In the future, we are going to improve quality of plugin docs and already
allocated resources for this activity. We are also going to create full-featured
community site, but currently I can't say when it will be available.

Sincerely,
Ilya Ryzhenkov

Thanks for the answer Ilya. So when can I expect to see the updates you mentioned? When are we supposed to see 3.0.1 released?

It's nice to have a link in ReSharper documentation page where users can find important documents. There's no link to Plugin document page. I can say ReSharper has a long way to go in this regard compared to IDEA.

Hello Ali,

Critical bugfix update 3.0.1 is waiting for one fix, then tested in labs,
then go live. No fixted date, but I hope it will be out this week, or begining
of next week.
As for docs update, we are working on making this bare pages a bit better,
but this will take some time.

Hello all,

Just for your information:

Upgrading existing plugins from 2.5 to 3.0 is not very hard.

I managed to upgrade my 6 plugins in a couple of hours total. The basic API
hasn't changed that much.

Best regards

What are your 6 plugins? Do you think they would be useful to the wider Resharper community?

Hello James,

They were released for 2.5 earlier on this forum.

I don't know if they are particular useful to others, but some might be inspired
by looking at the code.

Right now I just want to use the v3.0 versions a couple of days/weeks before
releasing.

Please and thank you! I would love to start developing against the Resharper API but as it stands right now my time is simply too limited when compared to the amount of exploration that would be required given the current level of documentation and samples.
