Today I've relased the latest version of my DTExec replacement tool, DTLoggedExec.
The main changes are the following:
Used a new strategy for version numbers. Now it will follow the following pattern Major.Minor.TargetSQLServerVersion.Revision
Added support for Auto Configurations
Fixed a bug that reported incorrect number of errors and warnings to Log Providers
Fixed a buf that prevented correct casting of values when using /Set and /Param options
Errors and Warnings are now counted more precisely.
Updated database and log import scripts to categorize logs by projects and sections. E.g.: Project: MyBIProject; Sections: Staging, Datawarehouse
Removed unused report stored procedures from database
Updated Samples: 12 samples are now available to show ALL DTLoggedExec features
From this version only SSIS 2008 will be supported

It useful to say something more on a couple of specific points:
From this version only SSIS 2008 will be supportedYes, Integration Services 2005 are not supported anymore. The latest version capable of running SSIS 2005 Packages is the 1.0.0.2.
Updated database and log import scripts to categorize logs by projects and sectionsWhen you import a log file, you can now assign it to a Project and to a Section of that project. In this way it's easier to gather statistical information for an entire project or a subsection of it. This also allows to store logged data of package belonging to different projects in the same database. For example:
Updated SamplesA complete set of samples that shows how to use all DTLoggedExec features are now shipped with the product. Enjoy!
Added support for Auto ConfigurationsThis point will have a post on its own, since it's quite important and is by far the biggest new feature introduced in this release. To explain it in a few words, I can just say that you don't need to waste time with complex DTS configuration files or options, since a package will configure itself automatically. You just need to write a single statement as a parameter for DTLoggedExec. This feature can simplify deployment *a lot* :)
I the next days I'll write the mentioned post on Auto-Configurations and i'll update the documentation available on theDTLoggedExec website:
