More meaningful code reviews

We’ve made it easier to view your GitHub and Azure DevOps pull request comments directly in your working file in Visual Studio. You can now stay in your context, make necessary code changes, and interact with your colleagues’ suggestions without switching contexts to the browser.

Fix for CodeLens timeline

CodeLens timeline now respects the configuration of your timeline to show the correct information. This fix addresses an issue where the timeline was not honoring the months set in the file changes hover preview.

Updates to pull request creation

We’ve improved on the create a pull request experience with target branch selection, commit counts, and other stabilization fixes. Additionally, we now automatically create links to work items that have been mentioned in commits that are part of the pull request. We also draft pull requests which was one of the top requests.

We hope you enjoy this update to Visual Studio, and we look forward to hearing what you think. You can share feedback with us via Developer Community, by reporting issues via report a problem and share your suggestions for new features or improvements to existing ones.
