Summary of What's New in this Release of Visual Studio 2022 version 17.8 Preview 3
Preview 3 is dedicated to addressing community submitted feedback where we resolved nearly 100 Developer Community tickets. Our primary focus was improving stability and reliability while also introducing a few new features.
C++ and Game Development
- Added Problem Details window for navigation of structured diagnostics. Open it using the Details icon on an entry in the Error List.
Git Tooling
Developer Community Highlights
- Fixed disable automatic multi-branch-history toggling of current/initial Git branch on Git Repository dialog. This avoids disrupting current flows while working in the Git Repository window.
- Fixed Git branches side bar does not stay collapsed to better respect user preferences.
- Fixed the MessageBar has low contrast in the new VS 2022 17.8.0 Preview 1.0 to make the infobar appear with appropriate contrast.
SQL
Additionally
- Upgraded Microsoft.Data.SQLClient (MDS) from version 3.0 to version 5.0 in SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT) Read more
- Two new fields are added to Connect dialogue box
- The Encrypt property now defaults to true (enabled) when connecting. If a server does not have a trusted certificate configured, the use of Trust Server Certificate set to true may be appropriate. For more details, please refer to the documentation
We added an overlay to the VS task bar icon to help you know when VS will update. When there is an update available and you have enabled the "Update on Close" option, the icon will appear. Once you close VS, an update will immediately start and as a result the icon will also disappear. For more information on Update on Close, please visit VS Update on Close.
We addressed an issue where Git SCC provider binds to non-Git folders in Open Folder mode and prevents other providers such as VisualSVN from working.
