After this release, git branch checkout and branch switching for C#, VB, and C projects is much faster. This is because reloading is no longer required. Unit testing was also significantly improved, with a solution of more than 10,000 MSTests executing a single test up to 82 percent faster when Microsoft tested it.
In addition, Visual Studio 2017 version 15.8 adds support for TypeScript 3.0. Other new features include new keybinding profiles for Visual Studio Code and ReSharper, new commands in the Go To All window, more refactorings and quick actions using Ctrl +. Or Alt + Enter, an option to not reopen docs from previous sessions, CPU Usage Tools performance improvements, and a.NET Object Allocation Tracking Tool. Microsoft has also added improvements for C development, F# 4.5, F# tools for Visual Studio, JavaScript, Visual Studio Web Tools, and mobile development for Android.
Microsoft this week announced the availability of Visual Studio for Mac 7.4, which now supports recent versions of Android, macOS and C# among many other new features. While new functionality has been introduced - such as support for Android Oreo 8.1 and macOS High Sierra - Microsoft said a primary focus of the dev team for VS for Mac 7.4 was fixing reported issues like memory leaks, performance problems and stability concerns. Myriad issues fixed in this release range from the IDE hanging when a project is loaded to not having to restart the IDE to get unit tests to run as expected. The new support for Android Oreo 8.1, meanwhile, means developers can leverage newer technology such as:. (for entry-level smartphones).
(for running computationally intensive operations for machine learning on mobile devices). updates (for filling out forms). (enables the creation, mapping and protection control over anonymous shared memory) On the side of things, the team boosted wireless deployment and debugging functionality across both iOS and AppleTV devices.
'When a device is connected via a network and ready to be used for deployment, it now shows up in the device target list, as if the device were connected through USB,' Microsoft said in the. Associated with that, developers are now asked to unlock a deployment device before an app is launched, which can now be done without interrupting a debugging session. Visual design tooling was also updated for both the iOS and Android designers. Support for the new C# 7.1 means developers can avail themselves of new functionality such as an async Main method, default literal expressions and inferred tuple element names. You can read more about that new functionality in this. Microsoft also detailed Roslyn-powered core architectural changes for C# editing that provide improved IntelliSense performance and typing responsiveness.
At the same time VS for Mac 7.4 was announced, Microsoft shipped Visual Studio 2017 15.6, with improved solution load performance topping a list of. More details about what's new in VS for Mac 7.4 can be found in our earlier of a preview release. Was introduced after Microsoft's acquisition of Xamarin, building upon that company's Xamarin Studio IDE, which was in turn based on the open source project. It serves as an adjunct offering along with the Windows-based Visual Studio family of IDEs (which include Xamarin for cross-platform mobile apps) for development on a Mac machine. It comes in Community (free), Professional and Enterprise versions.
