Will talk about Xtext in Antwerp and Stockholm soon.

I have the pleasure to present Xtext in two of the most beautiful european cities within the next two weeks.

Belgian Eclipse Community Meeting (Antwerp)

I'll be in Antwerp next Tuesday and meet up with Belgian's Eclipse Community.
The event is free of charge and the details can be found here. There's also a presentation of EGit, which I'm looking forward to see (I'll have lots of questions :-)).

"Developing Domain-Specific Languages with Xtext" (Stockholm)

A week later on Thursday, the 9th, I'll be in Stockholm. The event is sponsored by Jayway and there will be two presentations. First I'll talk about Xtext and afterwards Patrik Nordwall and Andreas Källberg will present Sculptor, which is an open-source framework/code generator based on textual DSLs implemented in Xtext.

The event is also free of charge. Register here.

Xtext 1.0.1 (SR1) release and git migration on Wednesday

In the last two months Xtext got a great number of performance and memory footprint improvements, bug fixes and extensive documentation enhancements (most of them done by Sebastian while us others were on summer vacation :-)). We also fixed a couple of annoying bugs in Xpand's editor.

You can find a detailed list of all 89 fixes in this bugzilla query.

The upcoming Xtext 1.0.1 (Helios SR1) release will be built on Wednesday.

Migration to git
We are also happy to announce that this will be our last CVS based release, since we will switch to git on the very same day. I also want to thank Ralf Ebert for his excellent git training he gave us last week in exchange to an Xtext training. Git is cool! :-)
