Microsoft has released the first version of Robotics Studio!

New since November’s CTP:

Security Support
Security is now fully implemented and turned on by default. It is fully functional for HTTP and TCP transports.

Simulation Scenario Editing
We have added an interface for editing entities and creating scenarios scenes (configurations) directly from the Visual Simulation Environment. Now you can easily select, reposition, rotate, or add entities.

More Documentation and Tutorials
We’ve revised and added more documentation. We’ve also added some new tutorials, including tutorial demonstrating a fully distributed application and a Visual Programming Language tutorial that demonstrates how to use it to program simulated robots.

Visual Programming Language Configuration of Services
You can now configure the services you use in VPL directly or by using another service. This is in addition to using manifests. VPL now enables you to compile your project and any related, user-defined activities as services. This means you can create your own add-on services for use with VPL or other programming languages. An option even enables you to generate a C# project.

Services Improvements
We improved a lot of our sample services and their XSLTs.
