In its recent GitHub $7.5B acquisition announcement, Microsoft promised to “bring its developer tools and services to new audiences.” “New audiences” in this context mean, quite literally, GitHub’s 28 million developer users. As the “largest open source community in the world,” GitHub audiences will most surely also mean new requirements, new priorities, and new expectations – but these will also come with old biases. And there is no better example of open source bias than code obfuscation.
Change Log – – Version 5.27.0 – Release Date March 2017
This release ships with Microsoft Visual Studio 2017
Enhancements
Added a new Debugging Check feature. Dotfuscator can inject code into an application to detect and react to the presence of a managed debugger, at runtime. This feature can be configured by adding the DebuggingCheckAttribute on the Instrumentation screen or via in-code attributes. Telemetry can be enabled via the “Send Debug Check Messages” global option.
