SDN5 gets rss feeds, done using Sitecore RSS Module. Check out and subscribe to downloads feed to get notified of new releases. Still need to find a place to stick pretty 'xml' button to.

Finally making use of DefaultButton of asp.net's Panel: searching at sdn5 should work fine with enter button now. If there are other places where enter behaviour should be fixed, send them in.

Speaking of search, sdn5 search autocomplete is finally live. Fixed the issue with list buttons appearing in IE after you hower over menu while autocomplete box is displaying (reported by Alex de Groot, thanks).

Microsoft released the Web Application Project for Visual Studio 2005, which is probably the best option you have working with Sitecore 5.2+ in MSVS. Download.

Very cool Microsoft's Monad shell gets RC1 under a brand new 'Windows PowerShell' name.
