We'll release a test version for VS 2017 within the next few days.

*crickets*

Visual Studio 2017 is being released today. Does anyone know if there's a plan to add support to the Qt Visual Studio Plug-In?

Final release is on March 7th.

We still need the Qt Visual Studio Plug-In. There's a comment from Karsten Heimrich on the last release page:
http://blog.qt.io/blog/2016/11/11/qt-visual-studio-tools-2-0-released/
"I did an initial commit that supports VS 2017 RC, you can find it here: https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/177499 Once we did some more testing, I will upload an RC at download.qt.io."
Does anyone know if this happened?

Well, if that's true (we still have to wait for the final release of
VS2017) then, as Harri said, upgrade from VS2015 will be much easier for everyone. :)

VS 2017 RTM and its Updates will continue to be binary-compatible while adding features, meaning that our DLLs are still vcruntime140.dll, msvcp140.dll, etc. The versions are admittedly a mess, so here's the magic decoder ring:
> VS 2015: IDE version 14, DLL version 140, toolset version 140, compiler version 19.0 (the C++ compiler is older than the Visual part of Visual C++).

However, you can mix in object files, static libraries, and DLLs compiled with previous versions all the way back to 2015 RTM, and things will continue to work (although you won't necessarily activate fixes in the newer version).
