Jun 05, 2015  A few months ago I heard “Visual Studio is coming for Mac.” At first, I did not believe the person who told me. But once I gained confidence in their sensibilities, I was thrilled. And now that it has arrived well, it really isn’t Visual Studio for Mac. This is Visual Studio Code.

Visual Studio for Mac distributes updates for the IDE and supported frameworks on a regular basis. These updates can be in the form of new features, improvements, and bug fixes.

Visual Studio for Mac provides two channels to get these latest versions:

  • Stable - Provides thoroughly tested updates. This channel is recommended for the best development experience.
  • Preview - Provides early access to updates that are candidates for release in the Stable Channel. These releases may not be reliable for everyday use.
