WiX v3.0.5315.0 was released on Friday, 15-May-2009. You can download it from http://wix.sourceforge.net/releases/3.0.5315.0/.
WiX v3.0 is in release-candidate phase, approaching release: There are only 7 v3.0 bugs still open. See Rob’s bug breakdown.
| Developer | ID | Description |
| Me | Based on a wix-users report, I added debug output logging to the WixUIValidatePath custom action (normal MSI logging doesn’t work because it’s a custom action triggered from a DoAction control event). I also added the WIXUI_DONTVALIDATEPATH property to suppress WixUIValidatePath calls. | |
| Aaron | Added documentation annotations for deprecated elements in wix.xsd so information will appear in IntelliSense and not just the .chm. | |
| Brian | Added the capability for heat to take an extension via the command line similar to how the other tools do using -ext Extension. | |
| Me | Fixed user-reported typo in fr-FR localization. | |
| Neil | 2609695 | Add support for harvesting performance counters |
| Eric | 2790472 | "error CNDL0288" using localized merge modules |
| Mike | 2792009 | XmlFile crashes in XPath mode when file doesn’t exist |
