VisualSVN 8.5 Release Notes

VisualSVN 8.5 provides full compatibility with Visual Studio 2026.

Visual Studio 2026 is generally compatible with extensions developed for Visual Studio 2022. However, VisualSVN 8.5 is explicitly built for both Visual Studio 2022 and Visual Studio 2026, adding specific fixes for full compatibility with Visual Studio 2026.

You can download the latest VisualSVN 8.5 build from the official download page. For the list of changes, see the VisualSVN 8.5.0 changelog.
