Whidbey visual studio 2018 update#

Visual Studio 2015, the compiler and framework version are 14.0 and not 13.0, a number which was skipped (for the good old superstitions).Visual C++ version 3.0 was skipped to 4.0 to align the product version with the MFC version, whose next version was 4.0.The first release of the framework to be included in a product was ATL 2.1 released with Visual Studio 97 ATL was first released in between Visual C++ 4.2 and Visual Studio 97.MFC 6.0 released with Visual Studio 6 did not change the name of the MFC DLLs, that were still named mfc42.dll.MFC was first release in 1992 with C/C++ 7.0.Visual Studio 6.0 is the only version of Visual Studio that was not named after the release year, but the version number.Visual Studio 97 was the first product that bundled together several products (Visual C++, Visual Basic, Visual J++).UPDATE: Added information about Visual C++ 2017.

It is incomplete because itвЂ™s not easy to find information about products released more than two decades ago, but if you can help to fill in the gaps please drop a comment with the information you have and I will update the table. The table below is the result of this effort.

You can find these on many places, but it is often incomplete or focused on something particular (Visual Studio, C++ compiler, framework, etc.). I have tried to assemble together information about the Visual C++ releases, the compiler and the frameworks (MFC and ATL).
