Simple Strategies to Modernize Your Legacy Code
May 28, 2025New 12.4 Features Release, 12.4.1.1003
June 13, 2025We’re pleased to announce our latest Synergy DBL Integration for Visual Studio (SDI) release, 2025.06.1647. Highlights include:
New Feature: Multiple Repository Project References
Projects can now support references to multiple repository projects. Adding the reference is as easy as adding any other project reference. The only caveat is that one repository must be declared as the default repository. This can be done by expanding the References node under the project referencing multiple repositories, opening the target repository’s reference node properties, and setting the Default property to True. Users with experience modifying project files can do this by adding the <Default>True</Default> metadata tag to the repository reference in the referencing project’s project file.
New Feature: User Input Completion in Completion IntelliSense
We received feedback that the updates to Completion IntelliSense in 2025.03.1285 conflicted with user operations when declaring record variables. Specifically, variable names were being overwritten by the completion system, and this was causing unnecessary frustration. A new item has been added to the completion session which captures the text the user has input and offers it as an option. This new item will become the suggested completion item if the user input does not match any of the suggestions, which is typically the case when declaring a new record variable. This should prevent unwanted overwriting of variable names.
Visual Studio 17.14 Support
Full support for Visual Studio 2022 version 17.14 is available.
Additionally, several bug fixes were made to resolve issues in IntelliSense, including colorization, background compiles/IntelliSense builds, and multiple mainline projects. See the Release Notes for the complete list of changes. Download the release in the Synergex Resource Center.
