Hot on the heals of the release of the February 2007 CTP of the Guidance Automation Extensions and Guidance Automation Toolkit, Clarius has just launched the February 2007 CTP of their Software Factories Toolkit. The SFT provides a number of new tools and capabilities designed to simplify the process of building software factories using GAT and DSL Tools. This latest release includes the following highlights:

• Recipe Binder: bind recipes to any designer with a few mouse clicks.
• Recipe Designer: graphically edit your recipes.
• MetaFactory: creates customized and usable SF solution.
• Manifest Validation: catch manifest errors early on and save time.
• Enhanced runtime: more integration assets added.

If you're building software factories, this is definitely worth a look.
