MonoDevelop 3.0 released

The release would be unremarkable if it consisted only of tons of bug fixes and performance improvements. However, in addition to them, there are two noticeable improvements:
1) Support for building apps for the Mac App Store
2) Major improvements in the text editor

It is worth dwelling on the latter.

First, they screwed NRefactory 5 , a library from SharpDevelop. Now it is used by the editor to get AST, which finally fixed the problems of autocomplete in lambda expressions and LINQ.

Auto-formatting is no longer trying to break the markup in the entire document, but only fits the part that you’ve finished writing (as in Visual Studio). On this occasion, it was even turned on by default. Speaking of the studio, a compatible set of code formatting rules has been added.

There was also a new feature - static code analysis right in the editor with suggestions for correcting it, catching things like variable naming curve, unnecessary use of namespace, possibility of using refactoring tools (support of NRefactory, in addition, allowed expanding the arsenal of existing ones), etc .



Also, for some reason, we made it possible to watch a smaller version of the document next to the scrollbar. By the way, on this very scrollbar marked places where there are proposals for corrections / changes.



With packages for Debian-systems, as always, it is stressful, but you can get them in my PPA . Installation in Ubuntu:

apt-add-repository ppa:keks9n/monodevelop-latest apt-get update apt-get install monodevelop 

Debianshchik more difficult, it is necessary also fresh Mono previously from sid-and to deliver. I also recommend looking at the monodevelop-appmenu package, repairing HUD support in ubunt.
