It has been fairly quiet on the "Release" front since last Summer.
That does not mean that we have been doing nothing. On the contrary
We are working day and night to prepare the X# 3 release that will support the next version of Dot Net (.Net 10 and further) and also current and future versions of Visual Studio.
The support for the new SDK style projects inside Visual Studio has proven to be more complicated than we liked / hoped.
Some of you have already tested X# with the new Visual Studio 2026 and discovered that most of it works as expected. However, there are a few issues with this new version.
If you are a subscriber and find a problem with X# 2, then please contact us with a bug report. We will try to resolve the problem and will send you (an) updated DLL(s). We do NOT plan to release a new installer with a new version of X# 2.
We expect to release the first beta of X# 3 in the first quarter of 2026. As you can imagine, we want to show it at our Summit in February 2026 as well. Maybe not the release version, but at least a very mature beta version.
Hi Robert,
regarding the support for VS 2026: I think it would save both work to you and to us if you release update DLLs for the VS integration whenever you have something. I don't think full installers are needed, but X# 2.x should remain usable at least until 3 months after the the release of the 3.x version also with Visual Studio 2026.
