Visual Assist 2024.1 具有經過全面改進的解析器，使初始啟動時間比以前的版本快 15 倍。

Visual Assist by Whole Tomato Software is a productivity add-in for Visual Studio designed to improve the coding process and reduce errors. Its features include code completion, syntax highlighting, code inspections, navigation, and refactoring capabilities, which make Visual Studio more efficient for C/C++ and C# developers.

Visual Assist 2024.1 boasts a significant performance enhancement, delivering up to a 15x speedup in project startup times. This dramatic improvement is attributed to a completely revamped parser, resulting in noticeably faster initialization for projects of all sizes. For instance, an Unreal Engine project that previously took 15 minutes to load now opens in under two minutes. Whether you're working on small scripts or complex applications, Visual Assist now offers vastly more responsive coding experience.

對安裝檔進行數位簽名可驗證真實性並防止篡改，為使用者提供更安全可靠的安裝過程。

Digital signatures offer a powerful security shield against software tampering or impersonation. These electronic seals act as a digital fingerprint, verifying the software's authenticity and ensuring users download exactly what they intended. This provides several benefits including increased trust for users who will know they're installing genuine software, reduced risk of malware infections or unauthorized modifications, and enhanced compliance with industry regulations and security standards.

Several installation tools support digital signatures including:

  • Advanced Installer Architect by Caphyon supports signing installers using a SHA-2 certificate to ensure they pass the UAC and Windows SmartScreen check.
  • InstallShield Premier by Revenera lets you digitally sign installers for enhanced security and user trust with flexible signing options.
  • PACE Suite by Infopulse can securely sign and validate installers with tamper detection and multi-level signing capabilities.
  • Master Packager simplifies installer signing with an intuitive interface and support for multiple signing methods.
