• #22: n Preview 1, we introduced a new Per-Monitor Awareness (PMA) preview feature that is now enabled by default for users that meet the system requirements of .NET Framework 4.8 and Windows 10 April 2018 Update. Alongside the core IDE, multiple tool windows such as Toolbox, Breakpoints, Watch, Locals, Autos, and Call Stack should now render sharply across monitors with different display and scale configurations. Develop with .NET Core 3 Preview 1 - The preview release of Visual Studio 2019 supports building .NET Core 3 applications for any platform. You need to install the .NET Core 3.0 SDK.

Per-monitor aware (PMA) rendering - This feature helps render Visual Studio properly on a projector or while working with a remote machine. You can enable it from Tools > Preview Features.

• #25: Visual studio
• #26: Visual Studio IntelliCode - This is not a VS 2019 feature. Visual Studio IntelliCode is an extension that enhances your software development efforts by using artifical intelligence (AI). IntelliCode trains across 2,000 open-source projects on GitHub—each with over 100 stars—to generate its recommendations. Once you install this extension and if you’re using C#, IntelliCode comes with an ability to train a custom model on your own code.

• #30: Search within a Watch window, and format Watch values - In Visual Studio 2019 Preview, you will be able search in the Watch, Locals, and Autos windows to help you find the objects and values you’re looking for. You can also format how a value is displayed within the Watch, Locals, and Autos windows
• #31: Visual Studio Live Share - Live share is a developer service that allows you to share a codebase and its context with a teammate and get instant bi-directional collaboration directly from within Visual Studio. With Live Share, a teammate can read, navigate, edit, and debug a project that you’ve shared with them, and do so seamlessly and securely. In Visual Studio 2019 Preview, this service is installed by default. One-click code cleanup - Similar to Jetbrains resharper, VS 2019 also shows a new document health indicator and there is a new code cleanup command. You can use this new command to identify and then fix both warnings and suggestions with the click of a button. An issue can be an Error, a Warning or a Suggestion. Errors and Warnings you already know, but the Suggestions are a new feature in VS2019. The idea is to find and fix style and formatting issues in your code. For example, you can automatically apply the var keyword when possible. Or automatically sort and remove unnecessary using statements. This is configurable:
• #38: enhanced fast deployment, which speeds up deployment times by only generating a new .apk file in a limited number of scenarios, such as when the AndroidManifest.xml file changes due to the addition of a new Application or Activity subclass.
