We are working very hard to improve PHP Tools so we can provide new and better tools for creating safe and efficient code. Today, we will spotlight numerous new features, introduced in the latest PHP Tools, that focus on code validation and PHP version compatibility.
Today, we are proud to announce the release of an early access version of PHP Tools for Visual Studio 2017. For the third consecutive major release of Visual Studio, DEVSENSE was selected as Visual Studio Sim-ship partner.
We are working very hard to bring new features to PHP Tools so we can improve the user experience and usability. Today we introduce newly added highlighting of unnecessary use declarations.
In the previous post we mentioned some new features primarily related to our completely new parser, which gives us the ability to support for PHP 7.0 while maintaining support for PHP 5.4, 5.5, 5.6. Also with PHP 7.1 already being in the release candidate state, we're preparing PHP 7.1 support which will be available in the 1.21 release. You can check what's new in PHP 7.1 in this migrating guide. Of course, we are going to offer compatibility warnings when migrating from one version of PHP to another, as we have been doing since 1.20 - see the previous post
PHP 7 proves it is faster and more secure than PHP has ever been. We are happy to announce the public availability of PHP 7 support into Visual Studio, including code colorization, IntelliSense, debugging, refactoring, unit testing and all the Visual Studio features you like.

When you develop applications that need to communicate with each other you might need to debug two or more projects at once. You can achieve this very easily with PHP Tools for VS.
