Just a couple months ago I highlighted one of our favorite refactoring/analyzer projects, Refactoring Essentials - Open Source, Cross Platform Refactoring and Analyzers.

Well the team is on a tear, with Andreas Weizel announcing that Refactoring Essentials v2 is now available in preview!

Refactoring Essentials v2.0 Preview


Currently we are working on a 2.0 release of Refactoring Essentials, that will include a considerable number of new refactorings and bugfixes/improvements - for C# and VB! Please see the complete list in our release notes.

Because some of our devs will be on vacation next week, the official release will arrive only after September 14th, 2015. But if you are interested in experiencing the new features now, you can pick one of our development builds automatically pushed to VSIX Gallery. Don't get confused: The development builds still have a 1.2.x version number.

Feel free to test (especially the new refactorings and analyzers) and let us know about any problems through GitHub!

P.S.: Many thanks to all contributors and testers who helped us in the last months to make Refactoring Essentials better!
