ALTERNET STUDIO 8.1 RELEASED

We have just released a new mid-cycle update of AlterNET Studio with the main improvements listed below:

Updated icons for code completion, debug menus, and toolbars.  

We have updated all graphical images used in code completion windows, code explorer, toolbar, and menus to the semi-transparent icons used in Visual Studio 2022.

Support for jumping to the declaration and completion of the matching braces in Code Editor. 

Code Editor now supports jumping to the declaration as the user clicks on the symbol while holding the Control key. When linked to the C# and Visual Basic Roslyn-based parsers, Code Editor automatically inserts closing brace or quote character symbols when the user types the open brace symbol.

Code Editor improvements and optimizations

We have significantly optimized code completion invocation in WinForms SyntaxEdit by implementing a virtual mode for the code completion Listbox. Dark theme is now fully supported for WPF TextEditor, including Search and Goto line dialogs.

Scripter and Script Debugger improvements

Scripter now supports signing assemblies being generated with the pfx certificate and time-stamp URL or the strong key. It prevents false-positive virus warnings with some antivirus software.

We have also added support for running .NET 6 projects with implicit using and a way to resolve source paths in case the source path location is different from the one specified in the PDB file.

Documentation

We have added more content to the reference documentation and optimized documentation filtering.
