Your wait is almost over: ReSharper 4.5 has gone public beta, and the official release is just a few weeks away!

After significantly expanding the set of ReSharper features in previous releases, we've shifted focus to the issues of performance and memory usage. Making the tool more agile, robust and responsive was our main goal when developing ReSharper 4.5.

ReSharper Performance Improvements

ReSharper 4.5 also brings a wide-ranging set of improvements that go way beyond performance enhancements:

  • Performance and memory consumption: When working on large solutions, you'll feel a great deal of difference between ReSharper 4.0 and 4.5.
  • New solution-wide warnings and suggestions: Analyze usage of non-private types and type members within your whole solution.
  • Visual Basic 9 support: ReSharper's cross-language refactorings and editing experience enhancements now fully support VB9 code.
  • Improved setup for naming conventions, which are now supported by all ReSharper features.
  • New Inline Field refactoring and enhancements in existing refactorings.
  • Go to Implementation — go from the usage of a class or method straight to its implementation, bypassing its declaration.

To get your hands on the public beta, download it now at http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/beta.html

Oh, and upgrading from ReSharper 4.0 won't cost you a dime. If you own an older version of ReSharper, please contact us to check your upgrade availability at sales@jetbrains.com.

ReSharper: benefits for you and your business

In addition to being a great productivity tool for software developers, ReSharper benefits businesses on several levels. By empowering developers and project managers alike, it provides a number of competitive advantages for your business and boosts its cost-effectiveness.

We've prepared a straightforward presentation explaining how these benefits work. It also includes very revealing ROI figures that any decision-maker looks for in a software product.


View the presentation now and start reaping the benefits.

Awards

JetBrains tools continue to receive recognition and praise: just last week both ReSharper and dotTrace won JOLT Productivity Awards! ReSharper made the top three Development Environments, while dotTrace was picked by JOLT judges as one of the best three Utilities.


ReSharper 4.1 was also nominated as one of the best Development Environments at the Great Indian Developer Awards 2009, with final awards to be announced in April.


We have only you to thank for making our products an enduring success!
