Chuck Walbourn - Nov 12, 2024

Visual Studio 2022 Update 12 (a.k.a. 17.12) is now available for download, including the updated Community edition. For more information, see the Visual Studio Team blog, Visual C++ Team Blog, and the release notes.

Note that VS 2022 17.12 is supported through the Long Term Servicing Channel.

VS Content Pipeline: Note that in 17.9.3 the use of the Autodesk FBX SDK was removed due to a security issue. The result is that the 3D Model Viewer was removed and the MeshContentTask no longer functions for converting meshes to CMO files. For Wavefront OBJ to CMO, you can use meshconvert in the DirectXMesh project. I’m looking at adding support for exporting CMO to the ATG Samples Content Exporter.

Compiler and CRT

VS 2022 Update 12 includes a revision of the C/C++ compiler (19.42.34433).

The C/C++ Runtime (14.42.34433) is binary compatible with VS 2015 Update 3 through VS 2022, which means you can safely link C/C++ code built with VS 2015 Update 3, VS 2017, or VS 2019 with VS 2022. See Microsoft Docs for details. A full list of updates to the Standard C++ Library can be found on GitHub.

clang: VS 2022 17.12 includes clang/LLVM v18.1.8 for Windows as an optional component.
