We’ll continue to work and look forward to shipping full support when Visual Studio publishes its final release. We’re really happy to be able to ship beta support for the Visual Studio 2022 previews, and providing an even faster Visual Assist is a happy bonus. We know we have many customers using older versions of Visual Studio, and as well as those improvements today you can look forward to further improvements focusing on other, non-VS areas as we switch back to a more normal focus in our next release. While the main focus of this release was VS 2022 support, there are other changes as well in 2021.3, which we’ll document in the What’s New. It’s historically been very important to us to have swift support for new versions of Visual Studio, and this work is our foundation for quickly officially supporting Visual Studio 2022 when it is officially released. But a rough guideline is that an operation like Find References that previously may have taken (say) two minutes will now take about one minute twenty seconds, or about two thirds the time. Since it’s a beta build, and Visual Studio itself is in preview, we do not have hard numbers.

Despite no longer needing the memory usage code we added, VS 2022 benefits from that performance work as well, plus some more work we’ve done while adding support. The blog notes that for heavy usage, we had equal performance for small projects, VAX actually was a bit faster. When we did that work, we also focused on performance to ensure that the changes to memory access had either zero or a positive impact. For older versions of Visual Studio, those techniques are still used, so if you’re using VS 2019 or even VS 2005 with Visual Assist 2021.3, you’ll still benefit from the lighter memory impact within the IDE. Now that Visual Studio 2022 is a 64-bit process, that work is not necessary for VS2022. Both to help them, and because we believe it’s part of being a good member of the Visual Studio ecosystem where our plugin sits alongside others, last November we greatly reduced the in-process memory usage largely through (spoiler: the full blog is worth reading) use of memory-mapped files. Many of our customers strain the Visual Studio IDE, with many plugins and SDKs installed. However, we believe the current build is well worth trying out on Preview 3 as well. Currently we believe those are because of changed behaviour in a Visual Studio API which we use when verifying in-IDE behaviour (ie not an issue in VAX itself), but it is always possible that once that is resolved further test failures will need to be resolved. Visual Studio 2022 Preview 3 was released two days ago-overlapping timing with our release-and our regression tests are showing some failures.
