A big difference in Map Suite 10.0 is that we are starting to providing our Products via NuGet. Now everybody can add references to Map Suite products by NuGet easily. For more details about how we approach this, please refer to http://wiki.thinkgeo.com/wiki/repackaged_nuget_packages.

New version strategy comes out with Map Suite 10.0. Now we maintain LTS version as well a develop version. LTS stands for “long-term support.”, LTS releases were recommended for most users, giving them a stable maintenance and only contains bug fix. Develop version contains bug fix and new features, it's suitable for users who want to try new features from Map Suite.

If there are any bug fixed in Map Suite products, we will update the LTS version. You can get the latest LTS version by click update in NuGet Package Manager.

We plan to publish a minor release for LTS each xx weeks(xxx days). Some new feature in Develop version will be included to LTS version once they became stable.

We will release a new version of Develop to NuGet every day, you can get the latest feature from here. The version number is suffixed with beta***.
