We’ve made several changes to increase Rider’s startup speed and reduce the time it takes to open a solution and get to work. Rider can now load a solution file and build its project tree instantly, without having to wait for the backend to initialize. We’ve also introduced several improvements to Rider’s backend performance.

Rider 2022.3 officially provides support for the .​NET 7 SDK including updated project templates, NuGet Central Package Management, support for ASP.​NET minimal API route groups in the Endpoints tool window, and the ability to create, run, and debug projects targeting the new SDK. We are also finalizing basic support for the latest C# 11 features, including UTF-8 literals, file-local types, static virtual members, pattern matching over spans, and more.

You can now run Rider on Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL 2) through the IDE’s remote development functionality. This means you can use Rider on a WSL 2 instance to browse your solutions and sources as well as to build, debug, and run apps as if they were stored locally.

To make arranging your working space and interacting with Rider on multiple monitors more convenient, we’ve implemented the option to drag tool windows out of the main window and dock them to floating editor tabs. We’ve also introduced a new Attach to process dialog to help you find and select the correct process faster and make the IDE remember the chosen debugger, particularly when attaching to a process via SSH.

Unity support in Rider is getting another great update, with support for Unity’s new Input System package and the GameObject.FindWithTag group of methods. Rider 2022.3 can also help ensure you’re using the correct path in Resources.Load methods. Integration with the Unreal Editor has been improved, with updated Code Vision for Blueprints, Rename with Core Redirects, and native .​uproject support.

To mitigate the risk of exposing your project to security vulnerabilities when you’re using open-source NuGet packages, we've introduced vulnerable dependency detection. Rider will alert you to vulnerable dependencies associated with the use of NuGet packages via notification popups, which can be further investigated in the Security section of the Problems view.
