I am pleased to announce that version 1.2.0 of DDKWizard has just been released. You can download it as usual from here:
– Direct download
– Project website
So, what’s new in this version? Not much and more than ever, would be an appropriate answer. This version technically doesn’t have many new features, in fact the most prominent is the only one worth mentioning: support for Visual Studio 2008.
However, there is one huge change. As you may recall, the previous versions of DDKWizard, except for the project templates, have been released under the GPL version 2. From now on, the new version is being released under the zlib/libpng license, which is a lot more liberal. The GPL states, that I have to keep the sources available for five years after publishing. If someone really needs the old stuff, I can still offer it – however, it is perfectly okay for any GPL-project to incorporate a zlib/libpng-licensed product, this just doesn’t work the other way around. So I suggest that anyone, including those who want to use it under GPL, use the newer version.

PS: This should also put an end to worries that the GPL’d version of DDKWizard could pose a legal threat to companies using the wizard! Spread the word …! 😉
