Visual Studio 2008 extensions for SharePoint v1.3 CTP Released

Yesterday, the Microsoft SharePoint Product Group announced the release of the Community Technology Preview of Visual Studio 2008 Extensions for SharePoint.

To quote their blog for this release, what what VSeWSS is:

The Visual Studio extensions for SharePoint (VSeWSS) provide project templates for developers using Visual Studio 2008 to create, debug, package and deploy SharePoint projects including Web Parts, Data Lists, Content Types, Event Receivers, Templates, Modules and other SharePoint artifacts. The v1.3 release is an incremental release of the VSeWSS including top feature requests. It is an interim release for SharePoint Developers on the roadmap until Visual Studio 2010 is released with significantly improved SharePoint development tools as outlined here.
