<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" id="willow" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7;"></a>New Installation Experience</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
We're delighted to introduce our new installer, which was designed from the ground up to:</div>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Reduce the minimum footprint of Visual Studio.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Install more quickly with less system impact, and uninstall cleanly.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Make it easier for you to select and install just the features you need.</li>
</ul>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
When you first install Visual Studio 2017 RC, you'll see the new experience:</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<img alt="The new installation experience in Visual Studio 2017 RC" src="https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/media/willow1.png" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The smallest install is just a few hundred megabytes, yet still contains basic code editing support for more than twenty languages along with source code control. Most users will want to install more, and so you can add one or more 'workloads' that represent common frameworks, languages and platforms - covering everything from .NET desktop development to data science with R, Python and F#.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
As we prepare for release, we're continuing to evolve the list of workloads. In particular, because the .NET Core, Xamarin, Python, and Data Science workloads have not yet reached RC-quality, we have marked them as "Preview" quality. These three workloads should not be relied on in a production environment at this stage.</div>

Feedback On the New Installer</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
We're eager for you to try this out and looking forward to receiving your feedback. You can report problems or praise using the <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Report a Problem</em> and <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Provide a Suggestion</em> commands from the new installer client. In particular, we want to know if you experience errors installing, uninstalling, or modifying your installation, as well as abnormal installation times (e.g., hangs) or unexpected error messages.</div>
<h4 id="new-in-rc-creating-a-layout-for-offline-installation-and-new-command-line-installation-support" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Segoe UI Bold", "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; word-wrap: break-word;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;">New in RC</em> Creating a Layout for Offline Installation and new Command-Line Installation Support</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
System administrators can now create an offline layout of Visual Studio that contains all of the content needed to install the product without requiring Internet access. To do so, run the bootstrapper executable associated with the product you want to make available offline using the <code style="background-color: #f9f2f4; border-radius: 4px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c7254e; font-family: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, "Courier New", monospace; font-size: 13.5px; padding: 2px 4px; word-wrap: break-word;">--layout [path]</code> switch (e.g. <code style="background-color: #f9f2f4; border-radius: 4px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c7254e; font-family: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, "Courier New", monospace; font-size: 13.5px; padding: 2px 4px; word-wrap: break-word;">vs_enterprise.exe --layout c:\mylayout</code>). This will download the packages required to install offline. Optionally, you can specify a locale code for the product languages you want included (e.g. <code style="background-color: #f9f2f4; border-radius: 4px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c7254e; font-family: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, "Courier New", monospace; font-size: 13.5px; padding: 2px 4px; word-wrap: break-word;">--lang en-us</code>). If not specified, support for all localized languages will be downloaded.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
To install from the layout folder, you can simply run the bootstrapper executable from the newly-created layout folder. Note that signature verification certificates will still need to be downloaded from the Internet. We are going to fix the need to be connected in an upcoming release. Last, note that the Android SDK requires an online connection to install.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
You can also run <code style="background-color: #f9f2f4; border-radius: 4px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c7254e; font-family: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, "Courier New", monospace; font-size: 13.5px; padding: 2px 4px; word-wrap: break-word;">C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vs_installershell.exe</code> to install Visual Studio components from the command line. Use the <code style="background-color: #f9f2f4; border-radius: 4px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #c7254e; font-family: Menlo, Monaco, Consolas, "Courier New", monospace; font-size: 13.5px; padding: 2px 4px; word-wrap: break-word;">--help</code> switch for further information on command-line options.</div>

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" id="ReportAProblem" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7;"></a>Enhanced Visual Studio Feedback Workflow</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Visual Studio 2017 includes an upgraded feedback experience for better follow-up and collaboration. As part of this upgrade, you will notice a more collaborative Report-a-Problem experience in Visual Studio supplemented by a comprehensive <a href="https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/index.html" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration: none;">web portal</a> for a complete end-to-end feedback solution. You can now search, follow, vote and get the latest updates on all feedback that you have provided via Visual Studio IDE’s Report a Problem feature. These enhanced experiences address a lot of the feedback we have received from you and enable bidirectional communication between our teams and you.</div>

<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" id="vside" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7;"></a>Visual Studio IDE</h3>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
A broad range of enhancements are included in Visual Studio 2017 RC.</div>
<h4 id="overall-improvements" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Segoe UI Bold", "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Overall Improvements</h4>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">The GitHub extension for Visual Studio can be selected in the new Visual Studio installer.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Visual Studio has been optimized to reduce startup time and solution load time. The very first launch of Visual Studio is at least 50% faster.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Visual Studio will now monitor extension performance that impacts startup, solution load, or editing. You will be alerted about poorly performing extensions via the Notification bar in the IDE. The new Performance Center (also available via Help | Manage Visual Studio Performance) lets you view not only extensions that are impacting performance, but also discover tool windows that are impacting your startup performance and change their startup load behavior.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Reload All Projects has been replaced with Reload Solution to support better performance of switching branches external to VS. When using the Git command line to switch branches, choose Reload Solution after the branch has switched in order to achieve the maximum performance improvement.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">File globbing capabilities for .NET Core and ASP.NET Core projects have been enhanced. See <a href="https://aka.ms/jcmh7k" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration: none;">project file globbing</a> for more details.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">You are now automatically taken to the folder view of your repository after cloning. You can view files or open Solutions with the new Solution selection list in the Solution Explorer.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">A new external service host is being introduced that will replace VSHub; this new service host is an external process and will appear in Task Manager as ServiceHub.Host.CLR.*.exe, as well as ServiceHub.Host.Node.x86.exe. This host will ultimately eliminate the localhost http traffic that was introduced with VSHub which should alleviate the noise Fiddler users reported.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Pre-release license expiration messages more clearly communicate the current license state.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">The Account Settings dialog is now more accessible to screen readers.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
The version control status bar makes it easier to publish local repos to an SCC host and keep track of uncommitted and un-pushed work.</div>

<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;"><div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Find All References (Shift+F12) has been overhauled (currently for C#, Visual Basic, and C++), providing advanced grouping, filtering, sorting, searching within reference results, and colorization for results (for C# and VB), so you can get a clear understanding of your references and get to the line of code you need with confidence. On mouse hover over a reference item, a tooltip is displayed with the context of the reference in source code (for C# and VB). By toggling on the “Keep Results” button in the toolbar, the next invocation of Find All References will populate reference results in a new window. This allows you to keep the current results in the existing window.</div>

Structure Guide Lines are now drawn in the editor so that you can easily visualize the structure of the code that you are working in. On mouse hover, a tooltip is displayed containing the context of the current code block relative to its ancestor blocks. Structure Guide Lines are currently supported for C#, Visual Basic, and XAML files, and for any files supported via TextMate grammars. This feature may be disabled in the Tools Options Dialog by unchecking the <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Show structure guide lines</em> checkbox under the <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Text Editor</em> > <em style="box-sizing: border-box;">General</em> category.</div>

New Extensibility Format</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The new installer technology in Visual Studio 2017 RC gives you greater control over the tools that are installed. Some users may install just the core Visual Studio editor while others may install several workloads. To ensure that the prerequisite features an extension requires are installed, extension authors will now be able to specify the individual components required by their extension in the manifest.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Users will be warned when trying to install an extension that was not built using the new VSIX format. The old VSIX format does not specify prerequisites needed and may fail to work if those prerequisites are unavailable in Visual Studio 2017 RC. The new VSIX format is backwards compatible and can target past versions of Visual Studio up until Visual Studio 2012.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The VSIX manifest designer has been updated to reflect the changes to the manifest. In the prerequisite tab, extension developers can find a list of installed components to specify as a prerequisite for their extension.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
During the installation of the extension, the VSIX installer will indicate which components are missing and will install them alongside the extension.</div>

Roaming Extension Manager</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
New in Visual Studio 2017 RC, the Roaming Extension Manager helps you keep track of all your favorite extensions across all your development environments. Roaming your extensions keeps track of the extensions you have installed by creating a synchronized list in the cloud.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
When you sign into Visual Studio, you can quickly see a list of your extensions from Tools > Extensions > Updates, and click Roaming Extension Manager. It tracks which extensions you have installed and lets you choose which ones are added to your Roaming list. With more cool extensions appearing in the gallery every day, this tool makes it quick and easy to set up each dev environment with your favorite extensions.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<img alt="The new Roaming Extension Manager in the Visual Studio IDE" src="https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/media/roamingextensionmanager_v2.png" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" title="The new Roaming Extension Manager in the Visual Studio IDE" /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Using this feature, you will notice 3 icon types:</div>

You can install these via the "Download" button.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;"><img alt="Roamed and Installed Icon" src="https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/media/roamedinstalledicon.png" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" title="Roamed and Installed Icon" /> Roamed & Installed Icon: denotes all extensions that are part of your Roaming List and installed in this environment. If you decide you do not want to roam, you can remove these via the "Stop Roaming" button.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;"><img alt="Installed Icon" src="https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/media/installedicon.png" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" title="Installed Icon" /> Installed Icon: denotes all extensions that are installed in this environment, but are not part of your Roaming List. Extensions can be added to roaming list via the "Start Roaming" button.</li>
</ul>

Sign in and Identity Improvements</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">New in RC</span></em> We introduced a new identity service that allows us to share user accounts across Microsoft developer tools. Within Visual Studio this sharing includes features such as Team Explorer, Azure Tools, Windows Store publishing, and more. These features now share a common and consistent sign in experience.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Along with improvements to Visual Studio we have completed the deployment of some improvements on the service side that allow users to safely stay signed in and eliminate the forced sign-in every 12 hours. This addresses the most commonly reported sign-in issue. <a href="https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2016/08/15/fewer-visual-studio-sign-in-prompts/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration: none;">Learn more about fewer Visual Studio prompts</a>.</div>

Open Folder</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Open Folder is a convenient way for you to work with code bases without projects and solutions. Navigate to a folder by opening the File Menu, clicking Open, and then clicking Folder.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<img alt="The new Open Folder feature in the Visual Studio IDE" src="https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/media/openfolder.png" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" title="The new Open Folder feature in the Visual Studio IDE" /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
You can open and edit files using the Solution Explorer. Many popular languages have syntax highlighting and support for symbol navigation (GoTo). Additionally, some languages have advanced IntelliSense and debugging support directly from the folder:</div>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">C++ (CMake)</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Node.js - JavaScript/TypeScript</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Python</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">C# & VB</li>
</ul>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
You can build or debug by using F5 and the file context menu in the Solution Explorer. For the best experience, make sure you install the workload for the languages you are working with.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The folder view also supports the following:</div>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Search across the code in your folder with GoTo (Ctrl+,).</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Scope the Solution Explorer folder view to subfolders.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Open folders in Explorer or the Command Prompt from the Solution Explorer.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Easily toggle between Solutions in the opened folder or repository with the Solution selection dropdown.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Configure debug and launch settings with launch.json. Right click on a debuggable file and select "Debug and Launch Settings".</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Configure tasks and customize build with tasks.json. Right click on any file and select "Configure Task Settings".</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Launch.json and tasks.json have IntelliSense in the JSON editor.</li>
</ul>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">New in RC</span></em> The performance of opening folders and toggling between folder view and solution view has been drastically improved.</div>

Lightweight Solution Load</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Lightweight Solution load enables faster loading of large Solutions. For large Solutions, it can provide a substantial improvement in Solution load time and memory usage. The feature is not enabled by default and can be enabled on a Solution by Solution basis or globally in the IDE. To enable globally, navigate to Tools Options dialog by selecting General under "Projects and Solutions" or by searching for "Lightweight Solution load" with Quick Launch. The feature can be turned on and off for individual Solutions in the Solution properties pane.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<img alt="The new Lightweight Solution load feature in the Visual Studio IDE" src="https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/media/lightweightsolutionload.png" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; max-width: 100%; vertical-align: middle;" title="The new Lightweight Solution load feature in the Visual Studio IDE" /></div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Lightweight Solution Load is best suited for large solutions that contain C# or a mix of C# and C++ projects. You may be prompted to enable the feature if we detect that you are working with large solutions. You can find more details about this feature on the <a href="https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2016/10/11/shorter-solution-load-time-in-visual-studio-15/" style="background-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; color: #337ab7; text-decoration: none;">Visual Studio blog</a>.</div>

Syntax Colorization, Autocomplete, Snippet, and "Navigate To" Search support for a broader set of languages</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Building on the support we added in updates to Visual Studio 2015, in Visual Studio 2017 RC we now support syntax colorization and autocomplete for an increased range of languages. In addition, some of these languages also support navigation via "Navigate To" (Ctrl+), and/or Code Snippets. See the list below for details.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Files for the languages noted below support these features in the new "Visual Studio Core Editor" even when no workloads have been installed to explicitly support the language in question. If a workload that provides language support is installed (e.g., the .NET Desktop Application Development workload, the Windows Desktop App Development with C++ workload, the Python Development workload, etc.), then more extensive language support including IntelliSense and other advanced language features like Light Bulbs may be provided.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
<span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Language file types listed by support level:</span></div>

<em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">New in RC</span></em> Simply click the icon next to a line of code while debugging to run to that line. No longer set temporary breakpoints or perform several steps to execute your code and stop on the line you want. Now while stopped at a break state under the debugger, the Run to Click icon subtly appears next to the line of code that your mouse is hovered over. Move your mouse to the icon and click the button, now your code will run and stop on that line the next time it is hit in your code path.<em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Turn it off from Debug/Options/Enable Run to Click</span></em>.</div>

Triggering the new 'Debug/Reattach to Process...' (Shift+Alt+P) command will immediately try to attach the debugger to the last processes from the previous debugging session that were invoked from the "Attach to Process" dialog. The debugger will reattach to processes by first attempting to match the previous process ID and then by matching to the previous process name. If no matches are found or there are multiple processes found with the same name, then the "Attach to Process" dialog will appear so you can select the intended process.</div>

C++ Compiler</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
In this release, we've updated the C++ compiler and standard library with enhanced support for C++11 and C++14 features, as well as preliminary support for certain features expected to be in the C++17 standard. With support for generalized constexpr and NSDMI for aggregates, the compiler is complete for features added in the C++14 Standard. Note that the compiler still lacks a few features from the C++11 and C++98 Standards. Visual Studio 2017 RC allows using /sdl with /await. We removed /rtc limitation with Coroutines. This release brings several improvements in optimization and code generation. Some notable improvements include:</div>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Improved code generation of loops: Support for automatic vectorization of division of constant integers, better identification of memset patterns.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Improved code security: Improved emission of buffer overrun compiler diagnostics, and /guard:cf now guards switch statements that generate jump tables.</li>
</ul>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The /debug:fastlink option has been improved to provide 30% faster link times on large components than in Visual Studio 2015.</div>
<h4 id="c-libraries" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Segoe UI Bold", "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; word-wrap: break-word;">
C++ Libraries</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Standard Template Library:</div>
<ul style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 0px;">
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Minor basic_string _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL != 0 diagnostics improvements. Tripping an IDL check in string machinery will now report the specific behavior that caused the trip. For example, instead of "string iterator not dereferencable" you'll get "cannot dereference string iterator because it is out of range (e.g. an end iterator)".</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Performance improvement: made basic_string::find(char) overloads only call traits::find once. Previously this was implemented as a general string search for a string of length 1.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Performance improvement: basic_string::operator== now checks the string's size before comparing the strings' contents.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Performance improvement: removed control coupling in basic_string which was difficult for the compiler optimizer to analyze. Resolves VSO# 262848 "<string style="box-sizing: border-box;">: reserve() does too much work". Note that for all short strings, calling reserve still has nonzero cost to do nothing.</string></li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">We added <any>, <string_view>, apply(), make_from_tuple().</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">std::vector has been overhauled for correctness and performance: aliasing during insertion/emplacement is now correctly handled as required by the Standard, the strong exception guarantee is now provided when required by the Standard via move_if_noexcept() and other logic, and insertion/emplacement perform fewer element operations.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">The STL now avoids dereferencing null fancy pointers.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Added <optional>, <variant>, shared_ptr::weak_type, and <cstdalign>.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Enabled C++14 constexpr in min/max/minmax(initializer_list) and min_element/max_element/minmax_element().</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Improved weak_ptr::lock() performance.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Fixed std::promise's move assignment operator, which previously could cause code to block forever.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Fixed compiler errors with atomic<T *>'s implicit conversion to T *.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">pointer_traits<Ptr> now correctly detects Ptr::rebind<U>.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Fixed a missing const qualifier in move_iterator's subtraction operator.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Fixed silent bad codegen for stateful user-defined allocators requesting propagate_on_container_copy_assignment and propagate_on_container_move_assignment.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">atomic<T> now tolerates overloaded operator&().</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">To increase compiler throughput, STL headers now avoid including declarations for unnecessary compiler intrinsics.</li>
<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Slightly improved compiler diagnostics for incorrect bind() calls.</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="c-ide" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Segoe UI Bold", "Segoe UI", Tahoma, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.2; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-top: 5px; word-wrap: break-word;">
C++ IDE</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
The new SQLite-based database engine is now being used by default. This will speed up database operations like Go To Definition and Find All References, and will significantly improve initial solution parse time. The setting has been moved to Tools > Options > Text Editor > C/C++ > Advanced (it was formerly under ...C/C++ > Experimental).</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
We've improved IntelliSense performance on projects and files not using precompiled headers – an Automatic Precompiled Header will be created for headers in the current file.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
We've added error filtering and help for IntelliSense errors in the error list. Clicking on the error column now allows for filtering. Also, clicking on the specific errors or pressing F1 will launch an online search for the error message.</div>

<li style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px;">Addressing XAML editor typing delays: XAML typing is now faster than ever. We have made several investments in this area and most developers should find the XAML editor and the XAML IntelliSense to be more responsive. This would be most apparent when editing a XAML file in projects that consume third party controls or large control libraries.</li>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 20px;">
Starting in Visual Studio 2017 RC SDK, there is a breaking change with how Visual Studio consumes project and item templates in order to improve performance of template discovery. The new discovery mechanism now requires all item and project templates following "vstemplate" schema to be defined in template manifest files. Visual Studio templates that you do not define in a template manifest file will no longer be visible in New Project or New Item dialogs. While new VSSDK tooling will generate manifest during VSIX build time, if you have Visual Studio templates released as part of a MSI package, you must manually generate template manifest files for those templates.

There is no impact to the Microsoft Test Manager (MTM) client – it continues to work without any known issues.</div>

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 10px;">
We are working on getting this issue fixed, but in the interim, if you need access to Team explorer and/or the Excel-based/SSRS-based reports, install the “Visual Studio Professional 2017 RC” or "Visual Studio Enterprise 2017 RC" package, which will get you access to Team Explorer.</div>
