One of the biggest opportunities that Microsoft has given the ISV/Community with SharePoint 2010 was to give the end user the ability to upgrade Features using the UI instead of relying on IT to upgrade it for them (since the only way you can upgrade features OTB in 2010 is by using the command line or using custom code). When Chris O’Brien did his talk about Upgrading Features during the SPEvolutions conference that was held in march he teased us with a beta version of the SPFeature Upgrade kit.. and now he released it on CodePlex! Here are some screenshots of the tool, just to give you an idea on how it looks and what it actually does ;) If you want to know more about upgrading features, head over to Chris’s blog and read the following posts: Feature upgrade (part 1) – fundamentals Feature upgrade (part 2) – a sample to play with Feature upgrade (part 3) – introducing SPFeatureUpgrade kitGreat job buddy! Think a lot of people owe you a beer in the next couple of years! ;)
