We uploaded a new build of LLBLGen Pro v2.6 which now supports .NET 4.0 and VS.NET 2010 out of the box. You now can generate code for .NET 4.0 and VS.NET 2010 without conversion of vs.net 2008 projects. There are no specific builds of the runtime assemblies for .NET 4.0 as the .NET 2.0 builds are fully compatible with .NET 4.0.
LLBLGen Pro v3.0 beta already supported .NET 4.0 out of the box.

The long awaited beta of LLBLGen Pro v3.0 is here! This version has a completely new designer, offering (among many other features) model-first development, fine grained entity and target schema management / mapping. Support for NHibernate, Linq to Sql and Entity Framework will be added soon.
Customers with a v2.x license can download the beta in the customer area, under v2.6, section 'betas'.
If you purchase your v2.6 licenses during the v3.0 beta period, you'll automatically receive the same number of v3.0 licenses as you bought upon release of the new version.

One of the powerful new features LLBLGen Pro v3.0 will offer is Model first with QuickModel. It allows the user to specify model elements very quickly, using a simple command input system combined with a visual model viewer. A video demonstrating this can be viewed at the blog of our lead developer Frans Bouma.
Another video, offering a sneak-peak of a great feature of the v3.0 designer can be found here. It shows how you can create a typed list definition from search results obtained in the designer by running a custom piece of code (C#, with Linq to objects. VB.NET is also supported)! So any query you want to run on the model meta-data is allowed.

We have updated the roadmap a bit and have adjusted the expected release date of the first beta for LLBLGen Pro v3 to December 2009/January 2010. Development is nearing the end stage and all looks OK for a release of the first beta in December 2009.
Around that time we'll also open a page to signup for the beta, which will be only for beta-testers hand-picked from the list of people who have signed up.
