VS.Php 2.6 available!

After a long development period the new version of VS.Php (2.6) officially released by Jcx.Software! This is my favorite tool for PHP editing. I think it's a great combination of two technologies which are so far away from each other. (Visual Studio 2008 and PHP)

So I downloaded the new version today. I own the 2.x for Visual Studio 2008 licence. After the installation, the system asked me to enter the serial number. It doesn't accept the old serial number. Pardon. To be exact: it accepts the old serial, but asks to go to the website and request a new one. Prepare yourself: you have to find the order number...

The new serial is came instantly after submitted my request. Fine. I will try the new version in the next weeks. I'll share my experience.
