Visual Assist 2026.52026년 10월 9일
기능
  • Project-wide code inspections - Run Visual Assist's 400+ clang-tidy-based inspections across the projects you select, with fixes you can apply individually or in bulk.
  • VA Agent  - Bring Claude Code, Codex, or the local Gemma 4 model from VA Intelligence into a chat window inside Visual Studio.
  • Change Code with AI  - Now runs in the new VA Agent window. Pick an agent/model which reads surrounding code and proposes changes to apply.
  • Quick toggles in Rename, Change Signature, and Encapsulate Field, plus dark title bars on Visual Assist dialogs in dark themes.
  • Registry option to disable the Welcome Page.
  • More clang-tidy options for override check, including AllowOverrideAndFinal. Destructors are now checked by default.
수정 사항
  • Bug fixes:
    • Fixed Open File in Solution ignoring every search term after the first, which also made exclusion terms such as -cover hide every file.
    • Fixed Find References including files and extensions that are excluded from parsing.
    • Fixed Goto (Alt+G) going to the previous symbol when used right after moving the caret quickly.
    • Fixed the caret staying in its old position after clearing the List Methods in File (Alt+M) filter.
    • Fixed Visual Assist syntax coloring missing in CUDA files.
    • Fixed blank entries in the VA View file and symbol drop-down lists.
    • Fixed Create Implementation duplicating the signature when a macro such as UFUNCTION precedes a function with a const return type.
    • Fixed typing an opening bracket or quote over a VA Snippet placeholder surrounding it instead of replacing it in Visual Studio 2022 and 2026.
    • Fixed files with a designer, such as XAML, opening in the designer instead of the code view when Visual Assist opens them.
    • Restored Alt+key shortcuts for the settings in Find Symbol in Solution, Open File in Solution, and GoTo Member, and added quick toggles that show the current settings.
    • Fixed the missing search and clear button in the VA Hashtags filter.
    • Fixed Options dialog tooltips that were missing, showed only their image, or showed only their first paragraph.
    • Fixed Source Links GitHub tooltips showing an Int32 overflow error instead of the issue's details.
    • Fixed the Open File in Solution hint about NuGet headers pointing to the old location of the 'Show only files in the current solution' option.
    • Fixed the Welcome Page opening as a blank window on systems without the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime.
    • Fixed the spelling of VA Hashtags on the Welcome Page.
    • Fixed the VA Intelligence local model download failing on any dropped connection; it now retries and resumes.
    • Fixed the VA Intelligence setup message naming Ctrl+Shift+Q instead of Alt+Shift+Q as the shortcut for the Quick Actions and Refactorings menu.
    • Fixed the link to the VA Intelligence FAQ in the Setup VA Intelligence dialog.
  • Compatibility and Stability:
    • Fixed Visual Assist failing to load on Windows Server 2016.
    • Fixed Visual Assist failing to load on Windows 7.
    • Fixed the navigation bar never appearing on Windows 8.1 and earlier.
    • Fixed an intermittent 'SetSite failed' error for the Visual Assist package when Visual Studio 2015 to 2019 starts.
    • Fixed an occasional Visual Studio 2022 crash when the navigation bar rebuilt its drop-down list while the editor was resized.
    • Fixed an occasional Visual Studio 2022 crash when Visual Assist handed a completion list back to the IDE.
    • Fixed a rare crash in Visual Studio 2019 and earlier when the symbol database was under memory pressure.
    • Fixed the installer rendering continuously, which made it sluggish in virtual machines.

Visual Assist 2026.1주요 버전2026년 1월 16일
기능
  • 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.
수정 사항
  • 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.
