October 11, 2013Oct 11, 201310/11/13Yesterday afternoon, we enabled a new feature for both the NuGet gallery and the Visual Studio client (for NuGet >= 2.7) which will display the list of license names for a package in addition to simply providing a link to the license text.
August 23, 2013Aug 23, 201308/23/13In our next deployment, which is scheduled for the week of August 26th, 2013, we have added the ability to edit package metadata at any point in time before or after publishing the package. This has been one of the frequent requests from package authors.

February 26, 2013Feb 26, 201302/26/13We have introduced a new feature on http://nuget.org where you can see download statistics for packages. With this initial drop, we hope to whet your appetite and collect your input on further statistics features; it’s a mere fraction of what we can imagine.
February 5, 2013Feb 5, 201302/5/13While each NuGet package’s nuspec metadata defines the package’s owner(s), the NuGet gallery at nuget.org ignores that piece of nuspec metadata.
