Visual Studio 2013 Update 3 Released!
The latest update for Visual Studio 2013 is now available for download. You can read about all the new features on the Visual Studio blog, Soma’s blog and Brian Harry’s blog. There are some important changes to the publishing of SharePoint apps. Specifically, the autohosted app for SharePoint program is closed. New autohosted apps are not accepted by SharePoint Online anymore. Existing autohosted apps can still run and be updated at this moment. The Office team will post future updates on the Office blog. The Publish Wizard has been updated accordingly to give you a warning about the autohosting change.
We also released an update to the Microsoft.LightSwitch.Client.JavaScript.Runtime. This release contains bug fixes to the table sorting, some issues with textbox scrolling and the completion of the bookmarking feature that was included in Update 2. You can now update your existing LightSwitch projects using the Manage NuGet Packages dialog or the Package Manager Console.
