- An IntelliSense problem was fixed in which red squiggles persisted even when there were no errors,
- A fix was made to an issue in which Quick Fix items were not being displayed if source analysis was disabled.
- A situation where tooltips would not disappear was fixed.

Also, to speed up NuGet restore on solution loads, no-op restore of NuGet packages is supported during opening of a solution. Startup time has been improved in the IDE and memory consumption reduced.
