GitHub Copilot is now a natively integrated agent via a JetBrains-Microsoft partnership. Performance improvements include 2.8s faster debugger launch, 2–3× faster branch switching, and ~2× faster C++ indexing for large Unreal Engine projects. Game dev highlights include Natvis support on Linux/macOS, a GDScript formatter, drag-to-code scene nodes for Godot, and game-aware Unreal Engine AI skills. Other notable additions: WPF Hot Reload, TypeScript 7 support, built-in Azure Functions, Azure DevOps PR tool window, C++26 reflection support, and a redesigned NuGet tool window. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
