Davide Bucci<p>I also decided to move Analysis in the page dedicated to my old programs. Analysis was a Windows 3.1 program I wrote between 1998-2002 and that could draw mathematical functions. It was mainly written in Visual Basic 3.0, with a DLL written in C that could parse functions: <a href="http://davbucci.chez-alice.fr/index.php?argument=retroc/oldp/oldp.inc" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="ellipsis">davbucci.chez-alice.fr/index.p</span><span class="invisible">hp?argument=retroc/oldp/oldp.inc</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/windows3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>windows3</span></a>.1 <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/retrocoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocoding</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/visualbasic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>visualbasic</span></a></p>
Aptivi<p><strong>Visual Studio 2025 is very&nbsp;close!</strong></p><p>When Visual Studio 2022 version v16.14 was released, <a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/visual-studio-2022-v17-14-is-now-generally-available/#delivering-new-features-in-visual-studio-even-faster" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">a blog post</a> that was related to the release has teased the next major version of Visual Studio as follows:</p><blockquote><p>Lastly, we’ve started work on the next major version of Visual Studio, planned for release later this year. We’ll be sharing more details here soon—follow the blog to stay up to date with the latest Visual Studio news.<a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fdevblogs.microsoft.com%2Fvisualstudio%2Fvisual-studio-2022-v17-14-is-now-generally-available%2F" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"></a></p></blockquote><p>This is especially true, since Visual Studio 2025 will be announced very soon later this summer to introduce major features and to introduce a redesigned UI that matches the Windows 11 aesthetics.</p><p>This is one hint, but we have two more hints to talk about.</p><p>Usually, Microsoft releases a preview of the next Visual Studio minor version at about the same time as the final official release of the minor version that was previously in the preview stage. For example, when Visual Studio v16.13 was released this February, the first preview of v16.14 was also released at the same day of the former version release. An interesting hint has been pointed out when Microsoft decided not to release Visual Studio v16.15 Preview 1 at the same day of the v16.14 release, because <a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2022/release-notes-preview" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">the Visual Studio 2022 preview release notes</a> says this:</p><blockquote><p><strong>Visual Studio 2022 v17.14</strong>&nbsp;is now generally available (see&nbsp;<a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/releases/2022/release-notes" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">release notes</a>). However, we recommend that all current&nbsp;<strong>Preview Channel</strong>&nbsp;users stay on Preview to continue receiving the latest updates and early access to upcoming features. This is especially important if you’re using the&nbsp;<strong>.NET 10 SDK</strong>, as some preview SDK features are not yet supported in the stable release.</p><p>Stay tuned for more details later this summer about what’s coming next for Visual Studio…</p></blockquote><p>Another hint mentions that we are approaching closer to the Visual Studio 2022 mainstream support ending date, which is assigned to <strong><a href="https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/visual-studio-2022" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">January 12th, 2027</a></strong>, and there are no announcements of the next major version of Visual Studio made until now. This is interesting, considering that Visual Studio 2022 went globally available as version v17.0 was released on <strong><a href="https://devblogs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/visual-studio-2022-now-available/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">November 8th, 2021</a></strong>, after a five-month preview that started <strong><a href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/2021/06/19/visual-studio-2022-preview-1-released/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">June 19th, 2021</a></strong>.</p><p>This means that we are heading towards a major milestone four years after the last major milestone, and that Visual Studio 2025 v18.0 will undergo many major changes, which will improve developer experience. We expect the first preview to be released this summer, with the final release being on November 2025 with the airing of <a href="https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet/10.0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">.NET 10.0 LTS</a>.</p><p>This follows a similar pattern with the release of Visual Studio 2022 with .NET 6.0 LTS together on November 8th, 2021.</p><p>We are very excited about the release of Visual Studio 2025 v18.0 and .NET 10.0.</p><p><strong>What does it mean for our apps?</strong></p><p>Our applications will be migrated to .NET 10.0 days after the final release to ensure that all systems can get this version of .NET easily, while we’re monitoring the rollout of this version of .NET across several Linux distributions, including Ubuntu.</p><p>Our applications, once migrated to .NET 10, will experience improved performance and better support for various features. This is part of our goal to provide better user experience across releases of projects like Nitrocid KS.</p><p>The next major version of Nitrocid, which will be released early next year, will use this version of .NET and will require at least Visual Studio 2025 to build, to ensure that we use this version of .NET at its maximum potential.</p><p><span></span></p><p><a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/net/" target="_blank">#Net</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/c/" target="_blank">#C_</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/dotnet/" target="_blank">#dotnet</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/news/" target="_blank">#news</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/programming/" target="_blank">#Programming</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/tech/" target="_blank">#Tech</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/technology/" target="_blank">#Technology</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/update/" target="_blank">#update</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/visual-basic/" target="_blank">#visualBasic</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/visual-studio/" target="_blank">#visualStudio</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/visual-studio-2025/" target="_blank">#VisualStudio2025</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/vs/" target="_blank">#vs</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://officialaptivi.wordpress.com/tag/vs-2025/" target="_blank">#VS2025</a></p>
