Metalama 2024.1.3-preview released

[gfraiteur]

We have just released Metalama 2024.1.3-preview, which contains all changes from 2024.1-2-preview and 2024.0.8 plus the following changes:

New: Visual Studio Tools for Metalama and PostSharp

We have merged the Visual Studio extensions for Metalama and PostSharp, which were initially separate extensions, into a single extension. The surviving extension is the former PostSharp one, which now supports Metalama.

You can download the extension from this OneDrive link as Visual Studio Marketplace does not support preview releases.

A few warnings:

⚠️ You must uninstall the Metalama extension before installing the new unified extension, as they will conflict if installed together.
⚠️ This feature is still not complete. The development experience is not final.
⚠️ Make sure to update your packages to the latest Metalama preview to enjoy the Aspect Explorer feature.

New: Work with constructors

• Introduce and pull constructor parameters: design-time support

Improved

• Metalama.Extensions.DependencyInjection: Ability to unregister LoggerDependencyInjectionFramework
• License audit also uploads anonymous data to the Matomo analytic service.
• Newsletter registration with the Metalama web UI now works.

Fixed

• Fixed: Pulling dependencies could cause duplicate constructor parameter
• Fixed: Pulling dependencies: into a constructor with params parameter generates invalid code
• Fixed: Contract not injected into introduced explicit interface implementation
• Fixed: Several concurrency issues in the previous preview
• Fixed: OverrideConstructor does not work with AppendParameter

Breaking changes

• Initializers now all run before any contracts. Previously, contracts and initializers could be interleaved.
