Visual Studio for Mac has support for opening multiple solutions in one window, and we’ve heard a lot of requests to support multiple windows for the IDE. When working on large projects, it can be common to open up multiple solutions at one time, either to work on different parts of a project or perhaps temporarily open up some sample code. To open a new window/instance of the Visual Studio for Mac IDE, you can now right-click on the app icon in the dock and choose a the New Instance menu. Please, take a look at the release notes to learn more about all of the changes included in this release. In this post, we’ll focus on a few of the top requested changes – launching multiple instances, debugging with Unity, and the new C# editor. In addition to the above, we’re excited to introduce a first preview of the new, fast, fluid, and performant C# editor, built on top of the same core editor as Visual Studio on Windows.

To update, simply use the Visual Studio > Check for Updates… menu! In this release, we’ve put all our energy toward addressing common issues raised by developers in our community. You can download it now or use the in-product update feature if you already have a previous preview release installed. Today, we’re excited to announce the Preview 3 release of Visual Studio 2019 for Mac.
