Visual Studio 2013 Released

Posted by Unknown on from the but-does-it-make-coffee dept.

jones_supa writes "Final releases of Visual Studio 2013, .NET 4.5.1, and Team Foundation Server 2013 are now available. As part of the new release, the C++ engine implements variadic templates, delegating constructors, non-static data member initializers, uniform initialization, and 'using' aliases. The editor has seen new features, C++ improvements and performance optimizations. Support for Windows 8.1 has been enhanced and the new XAML UI Responsiveness tool and Profile Guided Optimization help to analyze responsiveness in Windows Store apps. Graphics debugging has been furthered to have better C++ AMP tools and a new remote debugger (x86, x64, ARM). As before, MSDN and DreamSpark subscribers can obtain the releases from the respective channels, and the Express edition is available zero cost for all."

  1. Where is the RPM? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Funny

    I tried to do

    yum localinstall visualstudio-2013.exe

    but it wouldn't load on any of my Fedora or CentOS boxes. Tried the same with aptitude on my Debian boxes, same story.

    Is someone gonna repackage this for our favorite distro? Really, these guys are worse than Canonical when it comes to supporting the community.

    " that second part is a courtesy "

    That's only what Apple users consider "courtesy," but since you explained it already it goes without saying.

    I thought .NET was dead and the Microsoft future was HTML5 now?

    I look back with fondness for the times when a program was a set of instructions and declarations written in a programming language, rather than am odd derivative of C++ tied to a billion files in various XML schemas.

    Yeah and I remember hand crafting make files in order to build systems from all that carefully written C code.
     
    I mean I really hate myself for clicking on the NuGet package manager that I installed in VS, browsing a huge number of open source solutions and downloading and installing libraries and libraries of useful code with almost a single click. Yeah .. progress sucks

    Where is the real link to the final release of .Net 4.5.1 ???

    Here. At a labour rate of $100/h, that would be a charge of $0.01.
