ALTERNET STUDIO 7.0 RELEASED- NOW WITH IRONPYTHON SUPPORT

We have just released a new major version of AlterNET Studio, with the main focus being on bringing Python/IronPython code editing and script debugging capabilities and .NET 5.0 support.

IronPython Scripting (beta)

IronPython is yet another scripting/debugging library that we have added to the AlterNET Studio family.

IronPython is compatible with Python 2.7 and is designed to work with .NET Framework libraries.

As IronPython can run in an interpreted mode, you can seamlessly integrate IronPython script debugging logic into your applications.

We now provide three scripting/script debugging engines:

• C#/Visual Basic scripting based on Microsoft Code Analysis compiler (Roslyn), the same compiler that powers Visual Studio

• TypeScript/JavaScript scripting based on Microsoft ClearScript and Google V8 engine, and Google Chrome Debugger development tools

• IronPython scripting based on IronPython.net

Python Parsing

Python script writers can either use LangServer.org - based Python Parser, which requires python runtime to be installed on the target machine, or our Python/IronPython parser. The latter was updated to provide semantic analysis of the text, which powers features like code completion, quick info, signature help, and the like.

.NET 5.0 support for most core libraries.

We now support .NET 5.0 via NuGet packages for most of our core libraries, except WinForms Form Designer, TypeScript Scripter, and Parser.

A list of available NuGet packages is available here.
