About dtsdoc 1.2:

This version adds only one new main feature, but I think it’s going to be really useful for some of you so I decided to release it early.

dtsdoc now generates an image with the parent/child relationships among your packages. It looks for your DTSExcutePackage tasks and tries to navigate them to build the image. DTS Call tree

I’ve included some minor bug fixes and enhancements as well, like additional links and package labeling in the report.
