Plugin Developers
We have moved to .NET 4.8 and are looking at moving to the new .csproj format on our journey to .net core. Once we complete this, we will require plugin developers to upgrade to Visual Studio 2019.
Regression Testing
We have removed the tolerance in our regression tests, to allow for earlier identification of different machines or versions of operating systems giving different results.
Regression test repository changes since the first Source 5.6beta:
10 Project updated results 23 Project files updated (mostly for trailing white space in names)
Details here: 5.7 Regression Test Changes
Insight
To run Insight, you also need to install the 32bit version of Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package.
This installer is for both 32bit machines and 64bit machines since the library we use is 32bit: Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86).
