Members of the CAB team have started posting about specific things you will want to know if you are migrating your code from the June 30 CAB CTP to the new October 2005 CTP that we released on Friday. Here’s a list of what’s up there so far. I’ll come back and update this page when anyone posts any other useful migration information, so keep checking back.

• CabApplication and Family – CAB now has a framework of application classes that you use to get your CAB application booted up
• Development Tools – A brief explanation of the different versions of VS, NUnit, etc. that work with each release
