By
December 13, 2016
Visual Assist build 2118 introduces support for Visual Studio 2017 RC. Technically, support for the latest IDE arrived in build 2116, but we refrained from advertising build 2116 fearing early adopters would find a few problems. Alas, that assumption turned out true. Build 2118, and build 2116 for that matter, introduce no new features in Visual Assist. If you have Visual Studio 2017 RC…

By
June 3, 2016
Visual Assist build 2102 makes it three builds in four weeks, which is an unwanted record  for us. Microsoft prompted the last build because they issued Visual Studio “15” Preview 2 without notice, which deprecated our prior build. Build 2102 is our…

Visual Assist build 2093 is our second build of 2016—the year—and includes official support for Visual Studio 2015 Update 2 RC. If you read the previous post in this blog, you know builds of Visual Assist that work in one flavor of an IDE, e.g. Visual Studio 2013 RC, “work” in all flavors, but a new flavor isn’t officially supported, nor do all features of Visual…
