Summary of What's New in Visual Studio 2019 Preview 3

IDE
- Sign in, browse, and one-click clone or connect to your hosted repositories from Azure DevOps through the start window.
- Install extensions for other source control hosts to view repositories owned by you and your organization.
- Experience an improved Blue theme experience that addresses Preview 2 feedback by dialing down the luminosity, improving overall contrast and addressing other usability issues.
- Apply code style preferences from the command-line with the dotnet format global tool.
- Per your feedback, we have moved the solution name information from the status bar control back to the top of the IDE.
General Debugging and Diagnostics
- Break when a specific object's property value changes in .NET Core applications using data breakpoints, a feature that was originally exclusive to C++.
- Since Preview 1, we have updated the UI for searching in the Autos, Locals, and Watch windows with a simpler interface. The Search Deeper function has been changed to a dropdown so you can quickly select how deep you want your initial and subsequent searches to be.
Extensibility
- Use a single, unified Visual Studio SDK in the NuGet package Microsoft.VisualStudio.SDK.
- Take advantage of our update to the VSIX Project to now include an AsyncPackage.
- Experiment with a new Empty VSIX Project template that we have added.
- Know if an extension is Free, Paid, or Trial, as it is now indicated inside the Extensions and Updates dialog.
C++
- Open existing CMake caches generated by external tools, such as CMakeGUI, or customized meta-build systems.
- Improve analysis with /Qspectre for providing mitigation assistance for Spectre Variant 1 (CVE-2017-5753). For more information, see the Visual C++ Team Blog post.
