We are pleased to announce that a new version of Synergy DBL Integration for Visual Studio (SDI) version 2021.11.3540 is available for download from the resource center, and is recommended for use by all Synergy developers.

This is primarily a compatibility release that formally supports the recently released Visual Studio 2022, and continues to support Visual Studio 2019. In addition, SDI supports both the Build Tools environments of both the 2022 and 2019 versions. The release also includes several quality improvements; as usual, please refer to the release notes for additional information.

We recommend that Synergy developers consider upgrading to Visual Studio 2022, which is the first 64-bit version of the product; the higher memory availability that results from using the 64-bit architecture yields noticeable benefits in several areas, not least of which is the improved speed at which projects load when opening a solution.

The Synergy/DE tools included in this version of SDI (dbl.exe, dblproto.exe, dblibr.exe, dblink.exe, dbl2xml.exe, and rpsutl.exe) are from Synergy/DE version 12.0.1.3272.
