See the related announcement post for the detailed list of enhancements and updates.
Here’s a look at some of the new features.
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.
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.
Docstrings for fields and variables will now be displayed in IntelliPrompt popups.
This version adds new SyntaxEditor features, implements a huge update in the .NET Languages Add-on to support the latest C# 13 syntax, makes large improvements in C# interpolated string editing, and much more.

Here’s a look at some of the new features.
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.
The rendering of the outlining margin has been modernized and now matches the latest Visual Studio code editor appearance.
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.
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.
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.

Here’s a look at some of the new features.
Some of the renderers for the various WinForms controls have been refactored with a more modern appearance, such as with glyphs for the status bar gripper and menu item checks.
A new Visual Studio Blue renderer has been added that mimics the look of the Visual Studio 2022 Blue theme.
It’s easier than ever to support switching between light and dark themes in SyntaxEditor. A new class helps orchestrate updating SyntaxEditor UI elements, highlighting styles, and icon sets when toggling between light and dark themes.
All Actipro-provided syntax languages now include both light and dark highlighting styles, and we automatically convert many popular light-themed colors to appropriate dark-themed colors for custom languages that have yet to be updated with explicit dark styles.
The current line number is now highlighted in a different style than other line numbers, so the default line number colors have been updated to better suit this feature.
When using multiple carets while editing, the primary caret now has a more distinctive appearance than secondary carets.
Several other highlighting styles have also had their default values tweaked.
The C# parser grammar has been updated to support C# 9.0 syntax, including everything from top-level statements to records and improved pattern matching.
Resolver support has been improved for local functions.
Documentation comments display in IntelliPrompt now supports <para> and <br/> tags for paragraph and line breaks.
The Sample Browser application has been updated to use an SDK-style project and target .NET 6.
