Visual Studio 2019 Preview

Ha, click bait

To continue to preview upcoming functionality, keep an eye out for the release of Preview bits for Visual Studio 2019, which we expect to release by the end of 2018.

My current VS2017 release has some weird unwanted behavior, so I am hoping a lot of these issues get fixed in VS2019 as they seem to be nearing the end of development on VS2017.

One weird behavior is pressing Ctrl + right arrow when cursor is to the left of * or &, the caret jumps over the variable name to the next non-whitespace character.

void Function( const Bar& _bar );
Step 1: Caret is between r and &: void Function( const Bar|& _bar );
Step 2: Press ctrl + right arrow
Step 3: Caret jumps left of ) : void Function( const Bar& _bar |);

I've seen others complain about this, but I think it was pushed to the back burner as other issues were more pressing.

It seems that for now it's the Enterprise version that is previewed. I can't seem to find a community edition, so just use the Enterprise edition for now if you plan on previewing it.

Do they generally release all the editions at the same time?

I don't remember.
