    Excellent! It looks really nice. It took only 2 hours to upgrade all scripts and files for the new releases (http://doc.postsharp.org is upgraded as well). A (minor) problem: the TOC entry of methods that have overloads do not display correctly. The 'intrinsic' parameter types are not displayed at all and maybe in other cases. Thank you! Gael

    Unless I'm doing something wrong, I no longer see method or parameter comments?  I do see parameter names and types however.

    Awesome!!!. Thank you. But I have a problem. I tried to run the batch file with "/internal+" and I get "BuildAssembler" error and when I click "Don't Send" I get "XSLTransformer" error and the help file is created with empty stuff. I added a private method so that I can see the documentation. But I'm not. Am I missing something here? Any help would be appreciated.

    The method and parameter comments should appear and I am very sure there is some issue with your config files. Are you including comments file location in your config? Anand.

    It looks like we have a regression in Build Assembler with /internal+ option. I am sorry about this and we will provide a technical refresh with a fix for this. Anand..
