Today is a good day for .NET developers as we at JetBrains have just released updates to our stack of .NET development tools. ReSharper 8.1 is now available for download, as are compatible updates to dotCover for code coverage and dotTrace Performance for performance profiling.
ReSharper 8.1 highlights include:
- Support for TypeScript with refactorings, navigation, code completion, code rearranging and code inspections such as detecting unused parameters and invalid CSS references.
- Improved integration into Visual Studio 2013, fine-tuned to work better with Visual Studio 2013 RTM. We also provide specific integration with the two leading code editor features of Visual Studio 2013: Peek Definition and Enhanced Scroll Bar. Of course, support for Visual Studio 2005, 2008, 2010 and 2012 is available as before.
- More C# code inspections capable of revealing potentially severe runtime issues such as invalid cast exceptions and infinite loops.
- Enhanced Project Dependency View including analysis of indirect project relationships, a polished UI and a performance boost.
- Richer JavaScript support with Structural Search and Replace (SSR), and improvements in renaming and navigating between/to JavaScript symbols.
- Even greater XAML tooling with support for Windows 8.1 XAML apps and new typing assistance actions such as "Import types on paste".
- About 500 bug fixes and performance improvements.
For more details, consider reading about TypeScript Support in ReSharper 8.1, Visual Studio 2013 Support in ReSharper 8.1 and Architecture Tools: Improvements in ReSharper 8.1. We're going to blog more about this update, which makes following ReSharper 8.1 on JetBrains .NET Tools Blog a generally good idea.
dotCover 2.6 and dotTrace Performance 5.5.3 are both compatible with ReSharper 8.1 and work in Visual Studio 2013. dotCover 2.6 additionally introduces Extension Manager to simplify keeping up to date with xUnit and MSpec plug-ins.
We recommend that you download ReSharper 8.1, dotCover 2.6 and dotTrace Performance 5.5.3, and we certainly hope that you enjoy these latest updates.
