Microsoft has just released Visual Studio 2022 17.8 Preview 3. A release dedicated to processing community comments and resolving nearly 100 tickets issued by developers. A version that, like the previous version, is also dedicated to supporting C++ and game development. Above all :
Unreal Engine macro specifier suggestions
You will now see the suggested Unreal Engine macro specifiers in the members list, making them easier to understand and use in your code. This feature saves you time and effort by quickly accessing important macro specifier information without leaving the IDE.
Structured diagnosis
C++ compiler errors can be tedious and cumbersome. To address this issue, we created a new Issue Details window that allows you to browse compiler errors in a structured manner. The Problem Details window can be opened by clicking the details icon of an entry in the error list.
Entries in the Problem Details window can be expanded to show nested error information from the compiler.
Upgrade from MDS 3.0 to MDS 5.0 in SQL Server Data Tools
Also worth mentioning is the fact that SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) moved from (Microsoft.Data.SQLClient)MDS 3.0 to MDS 5.0. MDS 5.0 has significant advantages over MDS 3.0. Added support for TDS 8.0, support for specifying the server SPN and failover server SPN when connecting, etc.
For SSDT users, the biggest change that can be noticed is the connection to a database. Two new fields have been added to the login page, namely “Encryption” and “Trusted Server Certificate”. This specifies the encryption type and the requirement for a trusted server certificate. By default, encryption is set to true or required.
