You know I have been using JetBrains ReSharper since 1.0 beta and I was happy with it then, albeit I was excited when they did a better job with caching in 1.1 :)
JetBrains just released ReSharper 4.5 Beta which is mostly about increasing performance and lowering the memory consumption, which is particularly noticeable on large projects.
ReSharper 4.5 brings a wide-ranging set of improvements:
- Performance and memory consumption: When working on large solutions, you’ll feel a great deal of difference between ReSharper 4.1 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.
If you haven't played with ReSharper, you can download the public beta at http://www.jetbrains.com/resharper/beta.html. This is a free upgrade for ReSharper v4 users.
Nice! Can't wait to see what they have in store for ReSharper 5.0 which will probably be for Visual Studio 2010.
