GitHub Copilot has introduced new features to enhance the debugging experience, such as automatically suggesting breakpoints based on code and integrating AI-generated summaries into tooltips when hovering over symbols. It also offers more precise code completions and content exclusion capabilities for added security for GitHub Copilot Business and GitHub Copilot Enterprise customers, according to Microsoft.
Visual Studio v17.11 has improved code search capabilities and enhances the pull request creation process with features like target branch selection, commit counts, and revised keyboard shortcuts. The update also includes enhancements to debugging and diagnostics, such as better handling of asynchronous code and enhanced profiling tools for performance analysis. Additionally, there is a preview of an improved debugging experience for Blazor WebAssembly apps targeting the planned .NET 9 platform. C++ developers will also benefit from expanded support for cross-platform development.
