An often requested feature for MyGet was support for feed names with dashes and/or underscores. With our 1.6 release we introduce just this: support for feed names with – and _ in their name.

Many people asked us for this feature. The main scenario these users referred to was having feeds for development and production, having feeds per branch and so on with a recognizable prefix.

Since we deployed it in our staging environment, we’ve been using it continuously ourselves. Every support request that comes in and requires investigation is prefixed with “support-“. When we develop a new feature and test it on a given feed, we typically prefix those feeds with “dev-". I even saw a “chuck-norris-was-here” feed appearing during development. We hope you like this as much as we do!

Happy packaging!
