gorohoroh

The Rider team has been on fire lately, and in an unprecedented sprint, the folks have just come up with their third major release in the span of 5 months: please welcome Rider 2017.3 RTM.

Read below for the list of Rider 2017.3 highlights.

• Debugging third-party code: you can now step through and set breakpoints in assemblies that Rider decompiles on the fly.
• Smart Step Into: when you debug method chains or nested method calls, choose a particular call to step into, while stepping over all other calls in a line.
• Return values in locals: function return values are displayed in the Variables
  view, which is useful when the result of a method call is not stored in a local variable.
• More debugger improvements: debugger actions are available in the Alt+Enter
  menu; you can now drag-and-drop the execution pointer to an earlier or later location in code; and callers of async functions are now displayed in the Frames view.
• New project wizard: Rider introduces a different grouping of project templates, allows creating repositories along with new solutions, and streamlines installing additional project templates.
• Unit testing improvements, including new actions, local shortcuts, and more reliable filtering in the unit testing view.
• C# Interactive tool window to execute C# statements without having to wait for compilation.
• Unity support improvements, such as new context actions and code inspections, improved usability of code completion, and syntax highlighting in compute shaders.
• Config transformations to modify settings in Web.config and App.config
  when packaging applications.
• Reworked formatter: Rider has learned to align code in columns, apply other new code styles, as well as disable or enable formatting for selected blocks of code.
• More changes from ReSharper 2017.3, including a C# 7 ready Extract Method refactoring, more C# typing assists, and improved support for VB.NET.
• More frontend features: notably, Rider bundles more IntelliJ Platform plugins for front-end development such as TSLint, CoffeeScript, Karma, and Stylus.
• Changes from IntelliJ IDEA 2017.3, including a new editor-based REST client, version control and database tooling updates, and a reworked Docker configuration system.
• Performance improvements on loading and reloading projects, in debugger. and in code completion.
• More changes related to NuGet and MSBuild support, keymaps, settings, and Find Usages.
