Unleash It for file deployment hits Version 2.0

I blogged about the 1.0 release of this tool that was called "WebDeploy".  Well, it's grown up a lot with a 2.0 version.  Matt has been doing a great job of taking in a TON of user feedback and even ran a contest for people to rebrand it.  Good Times! - Josh

Unleash It, formerly known as WebDeploy, is a utility built with web developers in mind. It started as a simple application that would allow you to transfer files from one directory to another based on their file extension. Due to the growing nature of successful applications, and the need for more options, Unleash It grew to being able to transfer files based on a source directory or a Visual Studio Project to a destination directory, FTP site, or zip file.
