by Olga Belokurskaya
In his Friday’s blog post, Jihad Dannawi, Microsoft developer tools solution specialist, announced the release of the beta 1 of the long-awaited Visual Studio 2010. The release is planned for Monday, May 18, i.e. for today.
“Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1 (Professional, Suite and Team Foundation Server) will be available to MSDN [Microsoft Developer Network] Subscribers through MSDN Subscriber Downloads and to the general public on Wednesday, May 20th through Microsoft Downloads,” he wrote.
When VS 2010 was first announced last autumn, it was said that there would be a try to democratize the application lifecycle, by allowing all contributors on a software project to participate throughout the lifecycle.
About a week ago, Jason Zander, manager for Visual Studio’s developer division, shared some of the changes they made responding to the users’ unpopular feedbacks. One was to abandon triangles from the outline mode, which most users found a bad idea. Zander also provided some updates done to the performance area – the subject that worried the users greatly, according to their feedbacks.
