Korrekturen

Visual Assist 2026.1Hauptversion16. Jan. 2026
Funktionen
  • Enhanced Macro Expansion with Clang Integration
    • Update to the macro expansion: Clang-powered resolution.
      • Originally introduced based on a request from an Unreal Engine developer, the macro expansion feature allowed VA to display macro definitions when hovering - particularly valuable when working with complex preprocessor directives in large projects or for users who disabled IntelliSense to maximize performance on large codebases.
      • When you hover over a macro, Visual Assist now shows you both VA’s parser resolution and Clang’s expansion side-by-side. This gives you the most complete picture of what a macro actually does, regardless of complexity.
      • The tooltip now includes:
        • Formatted code with proper indentation.
        • Syntax highlighting for better readability.
        • Both resolutions suggested by VA’s and Clang’s parser.
      • How to use it: With IntelliSense disabled, simply hover over any macro definition in your code. The enhanced tooltip appears automatically, showing you the complete expansion with clear formatting.
  • Completed UI Update
    • Consistent visual theming across all Visual Assist interfaces.
    • Better high-DPI support for modern displays.
    • Cleaner layouts with improved spacing and hierarchy.
    • More intuitive interaction patterns.
  • Realtime AI Response
    • Responses stream in real-time as they’re generated. You can start reading the explanation immediately, even while the AI continues processing the rest of your query.
    • This makes Local AI interactions feel more natural and conversational, similar to how you’d experience modern AI chat interfaces. For complex code explanations or longer responses, the difference is particularly noticeable.
    • How to use: VA Intelligence requires compatible GPU hardware and must be explicitly enabled in Visual Assist options. Learn more about setup requirements.
    • Note: This enhancement maintains VA Intelligence’s core principle - all processing happens locally on your GPU. No code leaves your machine, ensuring your intellectual property remains private and secure.
  • Persistent AI Splitter Position
    • The response splitter now remembers its position between queries.
    • When you’re working through multiple code explanations or having an extended conversation with VA Intelligence, you likely adjust the splitter to create your preferred layout. Previously, this position would reset each time you started a new query, forcing you to readjust repeatedly.
    • Now, VA remembers your preference and maintains the splitter position across sessions. It’s one of those subtle improvements that reduces friction in your workflow - you set it once and focus on your code.
Korrekturen
  • Fixed issue where accepting Smart Suggestions would not include generic parameters C#. This particularly affected developers working with generic types and collections - the suggestion system now correctly expands the full generic syntax.
  • Fixed crash when opening a project in Visual Studio 2026.
  • Fixed issue where Open File in Solution results could change if you closed and re-opened the dialog.
  • Fixed issue where functions could be missing from Find Symbol in Solution (and more) if defined after certain string operations.
  • Resolved a compatibility issue between Visual Assist and GitHub Copilot where users couldn’t accept Copilot’s inline suggestions when VA was enabled.
