Excel-DNA version 1.0 is now available on NuGet and as a direct download from GitHub. The easiest way to install is with Visual Studio’s NuGet package manager (package ExcelDna.AddIn) – a ‘ReadMe’ file with further instructions will then be displayed. From the Package Manager Console:
Install-Package ExcelDna.AddIn
The Excel-DNA 1.0.x series (this version with minor fixes) will be the final version to support older .NET (<4.0) and Excel (<2007) releases.
Version 1.0 is essentially the same as the long-overdue version 0.35. The update includes a number of bug fixes as well as improvements to the build-time Visual Studio integration:
- Improve build tasks – more reliable clean-up and debugger detection
- Improve RTD and async QueueAsMacro reliability
- Improve install process of ExcelDna.AddIn NuGet package (now requires NuGet 2.5) (thanks to @caioproiete)
- Change how ExcelDnaUtil.Application works in Protected View – try harder but don’t cache
- Call UnhandledExceptionHandler for macros (ExcelCommands) too
- Add XML schema for .dna file (thanks to @caioproiete)
- Add option to pack .pdb files (thanks to @lanfeust69)
- Fix exception handling from native async functions (thanks to @ittegrat)
