Hi,

We have just released a new major version of AlterNET Studio.

AlterNET Studio 8.0 is a major release focusing on Visual Studio 2022 and .NET 6.0 core support for all our component libraries.

Main enhancements include:

- Support for Visual Studio 2022.
- .NET 6 support for all core libraries, including WinForms Form Designer and TypeScript Scripter/Parser.
- Scripting and Debugging for Python 3, based on [Python.NET](http://pythonnet.github.io/)
- C++ and Python Debugging based on [Debug Adapter Protocol](https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/).

Read highlights of version 8:
