Microsoft has launched Visual Studio 2019 v16.10, an up-gradation to the flagship IDE that features C++ 20 backup, and research of Visual Studio 2019 16.11, a feature announcement that cores on a unique Hot Reload ability. Both announcements were published on May 25.

Visual Studio 2019 16.10 arrives with characteristics compliant with C++ 20, including schedules, time zones, & the <format> text formatting features. Microsoft announced its compiler & regular archives are presently feature-complete for C++ 20.

Developers who desire to use C++ 20-style coroutines but are aiming for C++ 11 or C++ 14 can use the /await:strict switch to prepare the performance required. And those practicing the CMake build machine will be capable to use CMakePresets to define configurations rather than CMakeSettings.json.

Including Visual Studio 2019 16.11 Preview 1, the initial statement of a distinct Hot Reload user encounter is presented for editing code records such as WPF, Windows Forms, ASP.NET Core, & Console. With Hot Reload, developers can change distributed authorization code while the application is working, with no obligation to pause performance or use a breakpoint.

The 16.11 preview also supports .NET MAUI (Multi-platform App UI), a framework for addressing cross-platform applications for iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac that is due to be commonly possible in November. .NET 6 Preview 4 ships including .NET MAUI features.

Microsoft this season also proposes to present Visual Studio 2022, the following major announcement of the IDE.
