When deploying .NET applications to production, the difference between a development build and a properly configured production build can be significant. MSBuild provides numerous properties that allow you to optimize your builds for performance, security, and reliability. This article explores essential MSBuild properties for production builds, with particular focus on configuration for CI servers like Continua CI.

We recently had a report from a customer that code signing using Signotaur was taking a long time - in this case around a minute to sign 1 file. This is obviously far too slow for practical use.

It's no secret that we are always working on the next version of FinalBuilder and Automise - that's the nature of software development. That said, the next major versions are taking much longer than we would like - the reason for this is dealing with technical debt (mainly in the area of scripting). With this extended development cycle, there are changes that we finished some time ago that we decided could not wait for the next major version. We backported those changes to the FinalBuilder 8.x and Automise 5.x - but since some of these changes break project compatibility (with the x.0 releases) we are releasing FinalBuilder 8.5 and Automise 5.5

Today we released a FinalBuilder 8 update with Visual Studio 2019 and MSBuild 16 Preview support.
