- If Mono 5.2.0 or greater is installed, OmniSharp will be launched on that rather than the local Mono runtime that it carries with it. This allows, more Mono and Xamarin projects to load properly and improves OmniSharp performance (since it can run on Mono AOT'd binaries). (#1779, PR: #1789)
- Support added for launching OmniSharp on folders and solutions across multi-root workspaces. (#1762, PR: #1806)

- Use new solution parer to be more resilient against invalid solution files. (1580, 1645, PRs: omnisharp-roslyn#897 and omnisharp-roslyn#918)
- The MSBuild project system now calls the "Compile" target rather than the "ResolveReferences" target when processing MSBuild files. This has the effect of ensuring that other targets have the opportunity to run (such as targets that generate files) while still not building any output binaries. (#1531)
- Binding redirects added for MSBuild assemblies, fixing issues with MSBuild tasks built with different versions of MSBuild. (omnisharp-roslyn#903)

The 1.8 release makes a major change to how the debugger works under the hood. This new architecture simplifies how the debugger is tied to VS Code. We hope that this will make it easier to bring .NET debugging features to VS Code. We also expect it to improve debugger launch performance.
Changes:
-
The module load messages in the output window are now more detailed and hopefully less confusing. (#837)
-
Programs can now be launched into VS Code's integrated terminal. (documentation)
-
VS Code recently introduced column breakpoint support and they are now enabled for C#.
-
React to the VS Code change to use
${command:
instead of${command.
. (#1275) -
Fix a problem with browser launch support that could lead to debugger session's being aborted when the browser is started. (#1274)
-
Remote debugging breaking changes: as part of our new architecture, there are a few breaking changes to the way remote debugging works.
- vsdbg vs. clrdbg: As part of the new architecture, clrdbg has been replaced with a new executable named vsdbg. As such, the script to download vsdbg has changed to http://aka.ms/getvsdbgsh. Run
curl -sSL https://aka.ms/getvsdbgsh | bash /dev/stdin -v latest -l ~/vsdbg
to download. See the wiki for more information. - Pseudo-tty's are no longer supported: previously we were a little more tolerant of pseudo-tty's transforming the input/output from the remote debugger. We are currently not as tolerant. If you are using
ssh
orplink
as a pipe program, pass-T
to fix this. If you have another transport and you are no longer able to connect, let us know and we can fix this for a future release. debuggerPath
is now required - previously thedebuggerPath
property ofpipeTransport
was recomended but not required. As part of this change we are now requiring it.
- vsdbg vs. clrdbg: As part of the new architecture, clrdbg has been replaced with a new executable named vsdbg. As such, the script to download vsdbg has changed to http://aka.ms/getvsdbgsh. Run

- The C# TextMate grammar used for syntax highlighting has been removed because it is now part of Visual Studio Code itself. (#1206) (Many thanks to @aeschli)
- Introduced a brand new TextMate grammar written from scratch that provides much more robust C# syntax highlighting. (#101, #225, #268, #316, #674, #706, #731, #746, #782, #802, #816, #829, #830, #861, #1078, #1084, #1086, #1091, #1096, #1097, #1106, #1115)

- With the .NET Core SDK moving to embrace MSBuild and .csproj files over project.json, we've made sure the C# extension can handle the new format. This support is preliminary and there are still several features coming to smooth out the experience.
-
This release dramatically changes the runtime that OmniSharp runs on, which allows it to be run an many more operating systems than before:
- Windows: OmniSharp runs on the installed .NET Framework. In addition, OmniSharp now runs on 32-bit Windows!
- macOS/Linux: OmniSharp runs on a custom embedded Mono runtime. Note: Mono does not need to be installed on the system for this to work.
- Remote debugging is now supported for attach by using the
pipeTransport
launch.json option. - Resolved issue with setting breakpoints when there are multple files with the same name (e.g. two 'Program.cs' files).
- This improves the acquisition and reliability of platform-specific OmniSharp and debugger dependencies.
Several new settings have been added:
csharp.suppressDotnetRestoreNotification
: Suppress the notification window to perform a 'dotnet restore' when dependencies can't be resolved.omnisharp.projectLoadTimeout
: The time Visual Studio Code will wait for the OmniSharp server to start. Time is expressed in seconds. (Contributed by @wjk)
- A new unit testing framework for testing the colorizer grammer (#742) (Contributed by @ivanz)
- Single-line comments after preprocessor directives (#762) (Contributed by @damieng)
- Major improvements have been made to editor performance. The communication with the OmniSharp server has been rewritten to allow long-running operations (such as gathering all errors and warnings) to queue while high priority operations (such as text buffer changes) run serially. (#902) (Thanks to @david-driscoll for his help with this change!)
- The prompt to generate assets for building and debugging can now be dismissed for a workspace permanently. In addition, a new
dotnet.generateAssets
command has been added to force regeneration of the assets. (#635) - Fix "running forever" issue for folder with multple .NET Core projects. (#735) (Contributed by @eamodio)

- This addresses an issue found and fixed by @sixpindin in which the legacy csharp.omnisharp and csharp.omnisharpUsesMono settings are no longer respected. These settings have been supplanted by the omnisharp.path and omnisharp.useMono settings but are still expected to work if specified.
- Go to Definition (F12) can now show a C#-like view for APIs that do not appear in your project's source code. (#165)
- Applications can now be launched without attaching the debugger with Ctrl+F5.
- Support for new "embedded portable PDB" debug format.
- The launch.json file generator now automatically sets the option to show a console window by default (
"internalConsoleOptions": "openOnSessionStart"
).
Several new settings have been added:
csharp.suppressDotnetInstallWarning
: Suppress the warning that the .NET CLI is not on the path.omnisharp.autoStart
: Used to control whether the OmniSharp server will be automatically launched when a folder containing a project or solution is opened. The default value for this setting istrue
.omnisharp.path
: Can be used to specify a file path to a different OmniSharp server than the one that will be used by default. Previously, this option was controlled bycsharp.omnisharp
, which is now deprecated.omnisharp.useMono
: Whenomnisharp.path
is specified, this controls whether OmniSharp will be launched with Mono or not. Previously, this option was controlled bycsharp.omnisharpUsesMono
, wich is now deprecated.omnisharp.loggingLevel
: Used to control the level of logging output from the OmniSharp server. Legal values are"default"
or"verbose"
.
There have been several fixes to the colorizer grammar resulting in much smoother syntax highlighting, with better support for C# 6.0. Special thanks go to @ivanz and @seraku24 for contributing most of the fixes below!
- Expression-bodied members (#638, #403, #679, #249)
- Escaped keyword identifiers (#614)
- Using directives and nested namespaces (#282, #381)
- Field and local variable type names (#717, #719)
- Multi-dimensional arrays in parameters (#657)
- Improvements have been made in processing diagnostics (i.e. errors and warnings).
- Full solution diagnostics are no longer computed for large solutions (e.g. solutions with >1000 files across all projects). However, diagnostics are still computed for open files.
- Multibyte characters are now properly encoded, resulting in proper display in tooltips and fixing crashes in the OmniSharp server. (#4, #140, #427)
- Will no longer attempt to install a CoreCLR flavor of OmniSharp on Ubuntu versions other than 14 and 16. (#655)
- Opening a solution or csproj no longer results in '0 projects' displayed in the status bar. (#723)
- Support for Unity and Mono development on macOS and Linux has been restored! This release brings back support for the Mono version of OmniSharp, which is used to provide much better support for .csproj/.sln projects. Please note that Mono version 4.0.1 or newer is required.
- Generation of tasks.json and launch.json files can now properly handle nested projects. #170
- New UI that makes it easy to select a process ID when attaching the debugger to another process. Note: If you have an existing launch.json file, you can re-generate it by deleting the file, closing your workspace in Visual Studio Code and opening it again. Or, you can open the launch.json file and change the
processId
value to"${command:pickProcess}"
. - Support for debugging in .cshtml files. To enable this, add a
sourceFileMap
entry to your launch.json with the following content:"sourceFileMap": { "/Views": "${workspaceRoot}/Views" }
- Support for conditional breakpoints
- New support for changing variable values in the debugger! To try this, just right-click on the variable name and select 'Set Value'. Note: To properly support this feature, we've changed the display of variable type names in the debugger to a shortened form. The full type name can be viewed by hovering over the name with the mouse.
- New configuration option to enable stepping into properties and operators.
- Duplicate warnings and errors should no longer accumulate in Unity projects #447
- Adds debugger support for new Linux versions: Ubuntu 16.04, Fedora 23, openSUSE 13.2, and Oracle Linux 7.1
- Enhanced debug console output: module loads are now output, and there are launch.json options for controlling what is output
- Source file checksum support for breakpoints. This ensures that the debugger only sets breakpoints in code that exactly matches the open document.
- Support for editing the value of variables in the watch and locals window (requires VS Code 1.3)
