Visual Studio 2017
Support for Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 has been dropped. The last DIS version supporting Visual Studio 2017 is DIS v2.40.
Class Library Generation
The Class Library Generation feature has been removed in favor of NuGet packages. If you have a connector or Automation script that makes use of the official class library, you should replace it with the corresponding NuGet package(s).
You can read up on this change in the following blog post: Unlimited DevOps power at your fingertips – Code Library NuGet packages are living on the cloud!
NuGet Manager – Visual Studio
Validation DVE connectors
Validation of your DVE connectors has become child’s play! From now on, when you open a main DVE protocol in the XML editor and click “validate”, DIS will now not only validate the main protocol but also all its exported child DVE protocols.
Automation Script Libraries
Up to now, it was only possible to refer to a library script .exe file from within the same Automation script in a Visual Studio solution.
But from now on, you can also add a reference to a project from another Automation script in the solution. DIS will then automatically add a scriptRef and developers will only need to add a reference to the project that represents the library.
