Release announcements etc. will appear in the News and Events category (http://blogs.jetbrains.com/dotnet/category/news/).

Of course the .NET tools blog is much more than just news announcements. If you are interested only in product news, you may prefer to subscribe instead to the JetBrains News RSS feed at: http://www.jetbrains.com/rss.xml where we also announce all JetBrains product releases.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

]]> Tue, 12 Dec 2006 20:50:00 +0300 http://www.jetbrains.com/resharperrss.xml#52 We are proud to announce that Early Access Program (EAP) for ReSharper 2.5, the next version of our 'Most intelligent add-in to Visual Studio .NET', has started. The noticeable performance improvements in ReSharper 2.5 are introduced, along with the perfect UI "face-lift" and a number of new features.

The most valuable addition to this new version of the product is its first-level support for Visual Basic .NET. VB support is still under development, and we are going to provide full list of features for VB in the next major release, but developers who work on mixed projects (C# + VB) can already benefit from the new functionality that includes:

  • Navigation & search features (go to declaration/base/inheritor(s); find usages; go to type/file; etc.)
  • Matching brace highlighting
  • Extend selection (Ctrl+W)
  • Quick documentation popup (Ctrl+Q)

We much appreciate your feedback, and encourage you to join the EAP and share your impressions and opinions on the new version.

To learn more and download the latest build of ReSharper 2.5 EAP, please visit: http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/ReSharper/Download.

The ReSharper 2.5 Roadmap is available at: http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/ReSharper/ReSharper+2.5+Roadmap.

Please note that ReSharper 2.5 supports only Visual Studio 2005. However, users of ReSharper for Visual Studio .NET 2003 should not worry, since we will continue to release bugfix updates.

Wishing you develop with pleasure!

]]> Wed, 15 Nov 2006 20:20:00 +0300 http://www.jetbrains.com/rss.xml#51 dotTrace 2.0 Profiler Released http://www.jetbrains.com/profiler/ Announcing the release of dotTrace 2.0. The second major release of our intelligent profiling tool for Microsoft .NET apps features significant new functionality, extensive enhancements, and many general improvements.

Memory Profiling tops the list of new features in dotTrace 2.0. Now you can see what happens with the memory used by your .NET applications. Snapshots of memory can be captured and analyzed in nine informative views, each tuned to a specific aspect of memory usage. You can delve deeply into different aspects, quickly spotting memory leaks, and easily seeing ways to optimize the way the application uses memory.

Other enhancements include:

  • Integration with Microsoft Visual Studio. Developers can now run dotTrace from the Visual Studio IDE and easily navigate to open files.
  • Multiple snapshots of the same application as it is profiled. Several snapshots can be opened at the same time to compare and contrast them.
  • Windows services can now be profiled in the same way as web applications.

General information about dotTrace 2.0 is available at the JetBrains web site at www.jetbrains.com/profiler/. Information on new features can be found at www.jetbrains.com/profiler/features/newfeatures.html.

The release is available for download at www.jetbrains.com/profiler/download/. A free evaluation license enabling full functionality can be requested at the same URL.

JetBrains dotTrace can be purchased online at www.jetbrains.com/profiler/buy/. A new single user license is priced at $499 (US). Licensed users of the previous dotTrace version can upgrade for free.

SPECIAL LIMITED-TIME TIME SAVINGS!
From now until December 15 you can save $100 when you buy our .NET Productivity Pack - ReSharper 2.0 + dotTrace 2.0.

]]> Wed, 01 Nov 2006 15:00:00 +0300 http://www.jetbrains.com/resharperrss.xml#50 New Free .NET Tool from JetBrains! http://www.jetbrains.com/unitrun/ Introducing UnitRun - a free tool that delivers ReSharper's unit test runner functionality as a stand-alone application.

Developers can now automatically run and profile unit tests right from their code editor or from Visual Studio's Solution Explorer. From a dedicated window, you can analyze test results, run or rerun any tests, and navigate from a failed test's output directly to the code line that originated the exception, all with a single click.

UnitRun helps you ensure that a particular module is working properly, leading to increased code stability and quality. Results are displayed in the Unit Test Tree View, which contains an overview of all tests in the build together with icons to indicate the state of each test. From this view you can start running, debugging or profiling tests. Two additional tabs in the Test Tree View allow filtering of the results to show only failed or ignored tests.

Additional features of JetBrains Unit Test Runner include:

  • Progress Bar and Diagnostics View display the progress and overall status of the test run
  • Easily identify console output and exception stack traces produced by a selected test or all tests
  • Monitor precise time measurements for tests

UnitRun can be used together with JetBrains dotTrace 2.0, our intelligent profiling tool for Microsoft .NET applications.

Note for ReSharper Users:
If you use ReSharper, you don't need UnitRun – it's already in there!

]]> Fri, 21 Apr 2006 19:00:00 +0300 http://www.jetbrains.com/resharperrss.xml#46 JDJ Readers: ReSharper is pretty hot! http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/ The Java Developer's Journal 2005 Readers' Choice Award in the Best .NET Editors and IDEs category was pretty interesting this time. The winner was, predictably, Visual Studio. But the first runner-up was a little ol' Visual Studio plug-in — one that delivers huge productivity gains for C# developers: JetBrains ReSharper! OK, maybe we didn't carry off the actual plaque, but when you consider the vast difference in scope of product and scale of companies, we can't help feeling that ReSharper is truly a winner. But what matters most to us at JetBrains is the thousands of C# developers who are winning every day, helped out by ReSharper. We'll take that over any plaque any day!

Headed for a Jolt?
We're also pretty excited to see that ReSharper has been named a finalist in the Utilities category for SD Magazine's upcoming Jolt Product Excellence and Productivity Awards. Keep your fingers crossed!

To everyone who voted for ReSharper in the JDJ Readers' Choice Awards — thank you for your support!

To all our ReSharper customers – we thank you also. It's because of you that ReSharper is receiving this level of industry recognition.

Keep developing with pleasure!

]]> Tue, 12 Apr 2005 19:45:00 +0300 http://www.jetbrains.com/resharperrss.xml#10 ReSharper Return to Intended Price http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/ Well, the time has come for ReSharper to return to its originally intended price of $149 USD. The current $99 USD price was planned to be an introductory offer for the first month of its release, but we were having so much fun spreading ReSharper's angelic features to the .NET world, we just kept it that way for the last 9 months! Womb jokes aside, we'll be offering free upgrades from ReSharper 1.x to our new baby, ReSharper 2.0... is that a deal or what? And seeing that we don't like to be spoil-sports, we are giving a month long warning before the new price goes into effect on April 5th, so take advantage of the $99 offer now, while supplies last - and don't forget to tell your friends.
