Upgrading to VisualSVN 8.0 is necessary if you are switching to Visual Studio 2022. Professional and Site licenses issued before June 17h, 2021 require purchasing an upgrade for VisualSVN 8.0. The upgrade to VisualSVN 8.0 is free if you use VisualSVN under the Community license.

VisualSVN 8.0 can be installed and updated directly in Visual Studio (Extensions | Manage Extensions). You can also download the latest VisualSVN 8.0 build from the official download page.

Support for Visual Studio 2022

VisualSVN 8.0 enables full integration with Visual Studio 2022, which is now a 64-bit application.

Visual Studio 2022 is the first 64-bit version of Visual Studio that allows you to work with the most complex solutions without considering memory constraints. To allow for a seamless integration, all internal components of VisualSVN 8.0 have been migrated to the 64-bit architecture as well.

Personal and Corporate licenses reintroduced

Starting from October 2021, the Professional license that has been available in recent years is replaced by the reintroduced Personal and Corporate licenses:
