Releasing this week
We have all ready to release the first public version of Himalia this week.
It will include the designer for VS2005 (Himalia Guilder for Visual Studio 2005), the abstract Runtime environment, the WPF adapter for the runtime, and a standard control library for WPF too. Although we have no intentions of providing controls, we should make it while we have no alliances with third party control providers. We have also included a study case in this package: the Pet Shop application.
We think that this release will allow you to "guild" very quickly very interesting UIs.
Some work was also made in the website, there is a comparison chart with other technologies like CAB, UIPAB, RubyOnRails and DeKlarit. Now, you can fix an idea about what kind of problems are we trying to solve with Himalia.

All editors included
Finally, we included the four editors in this first beta version of the Himalia Designer for Visual Studio (a.k.a. Himalia Guilder).
Most of them have been made using the DSL Tools, but the Layout Editor is an extension of the typical WinForms editor. It is taking some more time than was expected but the result will be an "almost full" functional version.
You can check new screenshots at the Preview Center.

VSIP & DSL
Well.. ok, I am facing some problems merging the IVsHierarchy and the DSL Tools API's... They seem to be two very different worlds, so I will need a few days to get the first Himalia Designer for VS2005 beta beta beta. :)
Now, you can check the first screen shot in the Preview Center.

Himalia for VS2005
As you may know, I've been working developing Himalia for a long time.
At this moment, I am working with the DSL Tools to make a VS2005-Addin for Himalia Projects. y first approach was to make the Use Case State Machine Model and the Navigation Model. In a few days I will post here some news about it.
The DSL Tools are very easy to use and interesting (forgetting pre-release problems like hand-check cross-references from XML and domain model definition).
