Ultra is a set of open source modules to extend the capabilites of the .NET application framework DevExpress XAF
Ultra modules for XAF project is created José Manuel Ojeda Melgar, A.K.A Joche Ojeda.
Most of the ideas for these modules came from endless conversations with technical peers, not all of them are mentioned here, but my appreciation and admiration goes for all of them:
- José Javier Columbie (Cuba/U.S.A) Xafmarin
- Douglas Coto Lara (El Salvador) Source Code
- Walter Omar Gavarrete (El Salvador) itwgsv
- Pedro Hernández (Republica Dominicana) PeopleWorks Services
- Claudio Menetti (Italy) informind.it
All Ultra modules are released under Microsoft Public License (Ms-PL)
The philosophy of ultra modules is that a module should be easy obtain, install and setup so we have chosen nuget packages as our distribution method
As most of you know, it takes a lot of time and effort for our small team to manage and maintain Ultra in our spare time. Even though Ultra is open source and hosted on GitHub, there are several costs associated with maintaining the project.

Each nuget package has a version number as part of its identity. As such, two nugets that differ by version number are considered by the runtime to be completely different nuget packages. This version number is physically represented as a four-part string with the following format:
<major version>.<minor version>.<build number>.<module version>
For example, version 18.2.4.1 indicates 18 as the major version, 2 as the minor version, 4 as the build number, and 1 as the version number of the ultra module.The first 3 numbers represent the version of DevExpress nuget.
