ReSharper SDK - Simplify development and maintenance of ReSharper plug-ins. The SDK provides a full set of ReSharper assemblies required to test ReSharper plug-ins. Visual Studio templates for creating different kinds of plug-in projects are also available with the SDK.
Improved management of settings - The settings engine has been revamped with extra emphasis on sharing and managing settings. Many more settings have been made accessible and sharable and new granular settings have been introduced — for example, those defining IntelliSense behavior for different languages.
Optimizing assembly references - Inspect assembly references in any C#, VB.NET or XAML-enabled project and see if they are not used.
