Introducing C++ Experimental Editor Tools!

Hello C++ World!

At various times during our development cycle here in the C++ IDE, our developers start working on features that we believe can bring a lot of value to customers, but sometimes we just don’t have enough data on our own to figure out whether or not what we came up with works for our users on a broader scale.

Rather than wait until we’ve accounted for every scenario, we’ve decided to make an “Experimental” mechanism in VS2015 Update 1 RC (click here to download!) so that you can easily turn these features on and off when you decide to give them a try. This also alleviates the need to download an extension and restart Visual Studio! You can find this page under Tools –> Options –> Text Editor –> C/C++ –> Experimental (or do Ctrl+Q for Quick Launch and type in “experimental”).
