What's New in 1.5

Initial support for C# 7

  • New C# 7 features like pattern-matching and tuples are now supported in VS Code editor. Note: To use tuples, you will need a reference to this NuGet package.

Initial support for CSProj .NET Core Projects

  • With the .NET Core SDK moving to embrace MSBuild and .csproj files over project.json, we've made sure the C# extension can handle the new format. This support is preliminary and there are still several features coming to smooth out the experience.

Broader OS Support for C# Code Editing

  • This release dramatically changes the runtime that OmniSharp runs on, which allows it to be run an many more operating systems than before:
    • Windows: OmniSharp runs on the installed .NET Framework. In addition, OmniSharp now runs on 32-bit Windows!
    • macOS/Linux: OmniSharp runs on a custom embedded Mono runtime. Note: Mono does not need to be installed on the system for this to work.

Debugger

  • Remote debugging is now supported for attach by using the pipeTransport launch.json option.
  • Resolved issue with setting breakpoints when there are multple files with the same name (e.g. two 'Program.cs' files).

New Dependency Acquisition System

  • This improves the acquisition and reliability of platform-specific OmniSharp and debugger dependencies.

New Settings

Several new settings have been added:

  • csharp.suppressDotnetRestoreNotification: Suppress the notification window to perform a 'dotnet restore' when dependencies can't be resolved.
  • omnisharp.projectLoadTimeout: The time Visual Studio Code will wait for the OmniSharp server to start. Time is expressed in seconds. (Contributed by @wjk)

Colorizer

  • A new unit testing framework for testing the colorizer grammer (#742) (Contributed by @ivanz)
  • Single-line comments after preprocessor directives (#762) (Contributed by @damieng)

Performance

  • Major improvements have been made to editor performance. The communication with the OmniSharp server has been rewritten to allow long-running operations (such as gathering all errors and warnings) to queue while high priority operations (such as text buffer changes) run serially. (#902) (Thanks to @david-driscoll for his help with this change!)

Other Improvements

  • The prompt to generate assets for building and debugging can now be dismissed for a workspace permanently. In addition, a new dotnet.generateAssets command has been added to force regeneration of the assets. (#635)
  • Fix "running forever" issue for folder with multple .NET Core projects. (#735) (Contributed by @eamodio)
  • ctor snippet is now more consistent with other code snippets. (#849) (Contibuted by @Eibx)
  • Ampersands in file paths are now properly escaped on Windows (#909) (Contributed by @filipw)
