Here’s a look at some of the new features.

SyntaxEditor Python Language Add-on

Python v3.11 Syntax Support

Pattern matching example

The Python Language Add-on's parser previously only supported Python v3.9 syntax, which will be end of life later this year. The updates in this version added all the syntax updates in v3.10 (like pattern matching) and v3.11. More updates are planned to further increase the supported Python version.

Source Location Display

Past versions have always displayed the source module path on IntelliPrompt popups. In some cases, customers didn't wish for this information to be available to end users. A new option can prevent its display.

Field and Variable Docstrings

Docstrings for fields and variables will now be displayed in IntelliPrompt popups.

Here’s a look at some of the new features.

SyntaxEditor

Intra-Text Adornment Location

Elapsed time adornment shown at the end of a line

Intra-text adornments can now optionally appear after the tagged text range instead of before. This allows for features such as AI suggestions or contextual information to appear past the last character in a line.

Outlining Margin Modernization

Outlining margin glyph updates

The rendering of the outlining margin has been modernized and now matches the latest Visual Studio code editor appearance.

SyntaxEditor .NET Languages Add-on

C# 13 Syntax Support

Parameters showing in IntelliPrompt from C# primary constructors

The .NET Languages Add-on’s C# parser previously only supported C# 9 syntax. The updates in this version now support all C# features up to and including C# 13.

C# Interpolated String Expressions

IntelliPrompt working in interpolated string expressions

The .NET Languages Add-on’s C# syntax language now syntax highlights interpolated string expressions. It also fully supports IntelliPrompt features within the expressions, making interpolated string editing much better.

Miscellaneous

.NET Requirements

All assemblies now have a target for .NET 8. Prior .NET Core 3.1 targets were updated to .NET 6 instead, which can be used by those not yet moving to .NET 8.
