The complete list of the changes in the 2019 edition can be found in the accompanying release notes. In version 16.10.3, Microsoft has made the following improvements:

Top Issues Fixed in this Release

• Fixing an issue where Go To Definition on symbols imported from modules sometimes goes to the start of the module file rather than the symbol’s definition.
• Fixed an issue where visually impaired developers would face difficulty to identify the focus on the screen since the Luminosity ratio of border color is less than 3:1 for the text box.
• Fixed Database Project: Dragging a file from solution explorer into an opened one is deleting the file from the file system.
• Fixed an issue where using a merge statement in database projects will result in build errors.
• No longer send paths on disk when reporting which extensions are installed.
• Fixes an issue where attempting to close the quick start window can cause Visual Studio to crash.
• Fix an issue where showing tool windows sometimes crash VS.
• Fix for C++ Edit and Continue in user-code when unrelated G++/GCC generated symbols are loaded in the application.
• Fixes private selector usages from the iAd framework.
• Fixed a crash in VS which results from errors occurring in the XAML Designer
• Fixed an issue with the Windows Application Packaging projects that reference .netcoreapp projects are generating a .msixbundle.
• Fixing failure to conduct fast up-to-date check on WAP projects which was causing those projects to be built (instead of being skipped), even when project is up-to-date and does not need modifications, further causing increased incremental build times in IDE.
