We are very happy to announce Code Pilot version 1.0. It has been a busy month for us, talking about the plugin’s functionality with the users of all eleven consecutive Beta releases. The main reason for conducting such public testing was the fact that every developer has slightly different habits, and projects vary in size and architecture, therefore the only real common denominator for all these factors is the use of Xcode IDE.

I would like to thank all our friends who helped us make Code Pilot a reality with their invaluable feedback and insightful suggestions.

We tried hard to refrain from introducing any new major features in the Beta releases, as our main goal was to make this product’s core functionality rock-solid first. However, we do have many very exciting new features scheduled for future releases, so there’s still a lot of cool things ahead of us!

To make Code Pilot’s adoption easier and give you more time to grasp the ways you may benefit from it, we have enabled the unregistered version to work without the time limits per Xcode session for a period of 10 days! After that you still can use all Code Pilot’s features within the standard limit of 15 minutes per session.
