Visual Assist build 2048 is available

By
September 26, 2014
Visual Assist build 2048 was issued on the heels of build 2047 in order to fix a regression in the latter. Using build 2047, a VA Snippet that includes a GUID reserved string expands the string to zeros instead of a valid GUID. If you have build 2047 and use VA Snippets to create your GUIDs, you should install build 2048. Visual Assist build 2048 requires software maintenance through…

By
March 19, 2014
We hope you have check-for-new-versions enabled in the options dialog of Visual Assist, because you wouldn’t have learned about last month’s build of Visual Assist in our blog. We shamefully failed to announce build 2029. Social media isn’t yet part of our build process. Visual Assist build 2029 requires software maintenance through 2014.02.24, and includes our usual mix of…
