New Features and Functionalities:
New Visual Studio Integration (Technical Preview)
A technical preview of IncrediBuild new way of integrating with Visual Studio is now available.
Configure your builds to run with IncrediBuild by using the native Visual Studio build menu options for a seamless IncrediBuild-Visual Studio integration experience:Super-fast build initialization time
Visual Studio native textual output and error message panes
Seamless integration with “post-build” Visual Studio add-ons and actions (add-ons that rely on “build-finished” notification will be notified and kick-in, such as Visual Studio test explorer and code coverage add-ons)
The result – native Visual Studio experience powered by IncrediBuild process distribution technology and build visualization.
IncrediBuild support for CMake Builds under Visual Studio (Technical Preview)
A technical preview of IncrediBuild acceleration of CMake builds under Visual Studio.
