Visual Studio 2015 (codenamed Dev14) is the tenth major release of Visual Studio, released on 20 July 2015. It replaces legacy .NET compilers with "Roslyn", which also introduces code suggestions. It also supports JSON files and can grab a schema list from Schema Store. It also replaces the previous Visual Studio editions, apart from Community, with Professional and Enterprise. It is the last version to work on Windows 8. This version of Visual Studio comes bundled by default with Microsoft Visual C++ version 19.0x, and is the first to use the backwards-compatible UCRT (Universal C Runtime) runtime libraries.
