released September 10, 2019

• Visual Studio stops responding on creating a new SSIS project
• Fixed UI freezes occurring after extended usage of the editor.

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector Service improperly impersonates certain file operations. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could gain elevated privileges. An attacker with unprivileged access to a vulnerable system could exploit this vulnerability. The security update addresses the vulnerability by ensuring the Diagnostics Hub Standard Collector Service properly impersonates file operations.

A denial of service vulnerability exists when .NET Core improperly handles web requests. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause a denial of service against a .NET Core web application. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, without authentication.

The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the .NET Core web application handles web requests.

released August 13, 2019

• Fixed Test Explorer doesn't show my tests on VS2019 16.2.0
• Fixed a problem where Visual Studio can stop responding during shutdown.

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Git for Visual Studio when it improperly parses configuration files. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could execute code in the context of another local user. To exploit the vulnerability, an authenticated attacker would need to modify Git configuration files on a system prior to a full installation of the application. The attacker would then need to convince another user on the system to execute specific Git commands. The update addresses the issue by changing the permissions required to edit configuration files.

• Take any file type including solution files and drop them on to the start window when you launch Visual Studio to load the file.
• Resize the start window and new project dialog by dragging the edges. Visual Studio remembers changed sizes between invocations of the windows. Ability to maximize the windows by double clicking in the title bar area and minimize the windows by clicking on the task bar icon when in their launch states.
• Access the Developer Command Prompt and Developer Power Shell by either going to “Tools > Command Line” or by searching for them via the Visual Studio Search. Accessing them from within the IDE, automatically sets their path according to the currently opened solution or folder.
• The Preview Features tools options page has a new look that provides more information of the feature. Check this page for new features and to provide feedback on features.
• Preview Feature: Enable the “Standard tool window layout” preview feature to improve the startup time for Visual Studio by minimizing the impact of opening tool windows.

• For local CMake projects configured with Clang, Code Analysis now runs clang-tidy checks, appearing as part of background code analysis as in-editor warnings (squiggles) and in the Error List.
• Updated the <charconv> header for C++17's P0067R5 Elementary string conversions:
  • Added floating-point to_chars() overloads for chars_format::fixed and chars_format::scientific precision (chars_format::general precision is the only part not yet implemented)

• Visual Studio now enables debugging JavaScript in the new Microsoft Edge Insider browser for ASP.NET and ASP.NET core projects.
• Install the browser, set a breakpoint in application JavaScript and start a debug session using Edge Insider browser. Visual Studio will launch a new browser window with debugging enabled allowing developers to step through application JavaScript within Visual Studio.

• Visual Studio also supports debugging custom browser configurations using the "Browse with" option to launch the browser with custom CLI parameters (e.g. ---inprivate).

• Users requested bringing back the Sort Usings command separate from the Remove Usings command. The Sort Usings command in now available under Edit > IntelliSense.

• Users can now convert a switch statement to a switch expression. Under project file, verify the language version is set to preview as switch expressions are a new C# 8.0 feature. Place your cursor in the switch keyword, type (Ctrl+.) to open the Quick Actions and Refactorings menu, and select Convert switch statement to expression.

• Developers can now generate a parameter with a code fix. Place the cursor in the variable name and type (Ctrl+.) to open the Quick Actions and Refactorings menu. Select the option to Generate a variable to generate a new parameter.

Customers building WPF/UWP applications will see the following improvements in Visual Studio XAML tooling:

XAML Debugging Tools:

• XAML C# Edit & Continue is now known as XAML Hot Reload: XAML C# edit & continue for WPF/UWP customers is now known as XAML Hot Reload, this new name is intended to be better aligned with how the feature actually works (since no pause is required after a XAML edit is made) and match the similar functionality in Xamarin.Forms.
• XAML Hot Reload available/unavailable: The in-app toolbar has been updated to indicate if XAML Hot Reload is available/unavailable and link to the related documentation. Before this improvement customers had no way to know if XAML Hot Reload was working without trying to first use the feature, which was leading to confusion.
• In-app toolbar now themed: The in-app toolbar is now styled according to the Visual Studio selected theme colors.

• In-app toolbar element selection behavior changes: We’ve updated the behavior of the in-app toolbar feature “Enable selection” for selecting elements within the running app. With this change the selector will stop selecting elements after you have selected your first element. This brings it in line with similar tools such as F12 browser tools and is based on customer feedback.

The Test Explorer now has significant UI improvements including better handling of large test sets, more natural filtering, discoverable commands, and the addition of customizable columns that let the user fine-tune what test information is displayed.

• Significant reduction in memory consumed by the Visual Studio process and faster test discovery for solutions which have a large number of tests.
• New filter buttons allow users to filter the view by test outcome easily. Failing tests show with a single click!

• Additional buttons for ‘Run Failed Tests’ and ‘Run Previous Test Run’ make it easier to discover some of the most popular test-related keyboard shortcuts.

• Users can customize what information is displayed by tests at a glance by selecting what columns are displayed! The Duration column can be displayed when investigating performance and use the Message column when comparing results. This table layout mimics the Error List table in its customizability. The columns can also be filtered using the filter icon that appears when hovering over the column header.

• Users can specify what is displayed in each tier of the test hierarchy. The default tiers are Project, Namespace, and then Class, but additional options include Outcome or Duration groupings.

• The test status window (the pane below the test list that displays the messages, output, etc.) is much more usable. Users can copy substrings of text, and the font-width is fixed for more readable output.
• Playlists can be displayed in multiple tabs and are much easier to create and discard as needed.

• Live Unit Testing now has its view in the Test Explorer. It displays all tests currently included in Live Unit Testing (aka. the live test set), so testers can easily keep track of Live Unit Testing results separate from the manually run test results.
• There is a target framework column that can display multi-targeted test results.

• Startup performance improvements up to 50% faster with startup tracing support with ahead-of-time compilation(Profiled AOT).
  • Available to all editions of Visual Studio.
• Create Android App Bundles(.aab) with Xamarin.Android SDK MSBuild support.
• Android Asset Packaging Tool 2.0 (AAPT2) is now enabled by default for new Android projects.

• The Sharepoint integration tab has been removed from Team Explorer when connecting to Azure DevOps Server (TFS) projects. The Azure DevOps / Sharepoint integration was deprecated in TFS 2018.
