What′s New in dotPeek

When working with several tabs at once, you can now pin them. Additionally, the color of a tab indicates the type of code you will see – green represents a metadata view and brown stands for sources from symbol files. The options to pin tabs and to color code them can be disabled in Tools | Options | Environment | Tabs.

We’ve updated the formatter for decompiled code with a set of options to control how the code is presented. You can now set indent style and size, select whether the open brace should be placed on a new line, and if you’d prefer to use expression-bodied members. You can find them in Tools | Options | Decompiler | Code style and formatting.

• Support for more C# features, including static local functions, attributes on local functions, and init-only setters.
• Specifically for top-level statements, we’ve added a <Top-level Entry Point> node in Assembly Explorer. Though the node is synthetic, you can view its Properties, and also use double-click or context menu navigation to get to top level statements in decompiled code.

Private Source Link is now supported in dotPeek: once you navigate to the external sources that require connection to a private source server, dotPeek will ask for your credentials. We offer support for GitHub, BitBucket, Azure and GitHub Enterprise; however this isn’t the complete list – the support mechanism is quite generic.

New context highlighting for the custom attribute owner and improved highlighting for function exits.

• The Locate in Metadata action is available for declarations and usages in source code or IL code, as well as for items in Assembly Explorer. You can find it in the navigation group of the context menu or main menu.
• The Go To File Member action now retains external sources' navigation mode.

• Assembly of origin is now displayed for *Ref tokens in the results of the Go to Metadata Token action.
• If the containing type of a metadata token isn’t evident, it is now displayed in that token’s presentation in the Metadata Tree.

This release brings better support for C# language features:

• NuGet v3 package feeds are now supported in Open from NuGet, Open from NuGet packages cache, and Open NuGet packages.config.
• Items with similar names are now collapsed in the Open from NuGet and Open from NuGet packages cache dialogs.
• NuGet packages are sorted alphabetically.

This release brings better support for C# language features:

• Support for nullable reference types (NRT) has come to the decompiler. Please note that this only works in declarations, not in the bodies of methods.
• We’ve added support for decompiling the default members of interfaces and Auto-Implemented Property Field-Targeted attributes.
• We’ve improved support for decompiling tuple component names.
