People actually download and use Copyable, and they tend to use it in scenarios I haven’t used it in. This results in bug reports and patch submissions. So far, these have been given to me by e-mail or by blog comment, neither of which is a particularly great way of receiving them. So after receiving another one today, I finally got around to putting Copyable on GitHub.

The version I put up includes several enhancements from the latest release:

• It uses FormatterServices.GetUninitializedObject and hence does not depend on a parameterless constructor or custom instance provider (but you can of course still create an instance provider if you want to control object initialization)
• The bug with copy semantics for already visited objects submitted by Walter Oesch has been fixed
• The bug with inherited fields found by Alex, and the patch submitted for it, has been incorporated

Bleeding edge Copyable can be found at http://github.com/havard/copyable. The clone URL is git://github.com/havard/copyable.git. Now go fix your own bugs! Or even better, enhance the framework.
