By
March 8, 2016
A few days ago, Microsoft announced the release candidate (RC) of Visual Studio 2015 Update 2. If you are a user of Visual Assist in this newest Microsoft IDE, any build of Visual Assist beginning with 2073 should work for you.

By
August 31, 2015
Visual Assist build 2074 fixes two bugs, critical for some users, discovered shortly after the release of build 2073.

The second fix lets Visual Assist recognize extension-less headers in UNC paths, e.g. \\server\path\path\header. Build 2074 is required if you have Windows Driver Kit…
