VI Package Manager 2013 Now Available

[Roso]

For those who have not heard (or been reminded via alert), JKI recently released the 2013 version of VI Package Manager.  There are quite a few new features as well as bug fixes, but I wanted to highlight a handful that would be of interest to LabVIEW developers:

• The package creation window now has a separate dedicated page for the product description that gives more room for editing.  JKI has also added a legend on that page to show users what formatting tags are available.
• VIPM now supports packaging code that calls VIs from the RT or FPGA palette using a conditional disable structure (see their documentation for more details).
• For developers using custom license binding, license files (*.lf) are visible in the Package Builder source files tree and can be managed just like other support files.
• VIPM automatically refreshes the LabVIEW menus when installing packages. (LabVIEW 2013+)
• Mac features added:
  • Full OS X support
  • Package building
  • VI package configuration (VIPC) file creation
  • Repository management

For a complete list of changes, check out the official announcement.  You can download the latest version on the Tools Network or upgrade from the VIPM Help menu.
