The Visual Assist 2024.3 release from Whole Tomato Software brings a range of enhancements and fixes to improve developer productivity. Here are the highlights:

- Move Class to New File: This feature has exited beta, providing a more polished experience.
- CUDA Support: This feature has also graduated from beta, enhancing GPU programming support.

Bug Fixes and Refinements
- Issues with Move Implementation not functioning properly when a new file was needed have been resolved.
- C headers mistakenly added instead of their C++ equivalents are now correctly identified.
- Move Class to New File offers proper prompts even around macros.
Quality of Life Improvements
- Enhanced C# editor performance.
- New Discord links and feedback options facilitate community engagement directly from the Help menu.
