Product History
AddOn Studio 2015 for WildStar is a further continuation of the AddOn Studio for WildStar series, and is an update of AddOn Studio 2010 for WildStar, reworked with Visual Studio 2015.
The AddOn Studio 2010 for WildStar version will be updated in parallel, where both this version and the 2015 version will be supported together to give users a choice of which IDE's style, platform support, and functionality they are more comfortable with.
See AddOn Studio for WildStar for a list of versions and the AddOn Studio for WildStar Release History.
Today's Reality
The general concepts of AddOn and game development, especially for WildStar, are far more well understood and by a much larger audience now than they were at the time of the original 'AddOn Studio for WoW'. And since the original 'AddOn Studio 2010 for WoW', many more games have come (and some gone) using Lua and similar extensibility concepts, and general expectations of quality in customer level tools and environments has risen as well.
This product improves on 2010 with an even more advanced and complete set of features, and is a powerful general IDE for WildStar AddOn development using a free Visual Studio back-end (much like the free Community versions of Visual Studio for C# and Web). There are quite a few additional Visual Studio integration features, all of which together contribute toward making WildStar Add-On development tools real first class citizens in a world where that almost never happens.

- New Visual Studio 2015 IDE general set of features.
- See AddOn Studio for WildStar History for current specifics, will update more here later.
What Works
- See AddOn Studio 2010 for WildStar: What Works for previous enhancements
This is a short list that expressly or implicitly covers major historic issues that, starting with the release of AddOn Studio 2015 for WildStar, have been handled with better support, direct fixes, and/or new and updated infrastructure.
Updated Support:
- SCC Integration for GIT - the new version includes an optional, integrated, and functional version of GIT, with full support for all context menus. This is in addition to the previous SVN support. This allows using Curse or other Git support for remote code repositories. There is guaranteed support for sites like the Curse sponsored WowAce and Curse Forge.
- Windows 10 - using newer set of tools and compilers support was updated for a smoother experience on the new OS, and should still be backward compatible as far back as Visual Studio 2015 support goes. I believe this is the way back to Vista and above, but not back as far as Windows XP, Windows 2000, NT 4.0, or Windows 95. Windows Vista requires Vista SP1. AddOn Studio 2010 for WildStar still has support for Windows XP.
