 **Structured bindings** It is now possible in a single declaration to store a value with individual names for its components, when the value is an array, a std::tuple or std::pair, or has all public non-static data members.

 **Construction rules for enum class values** There is now an implicit/non-narrowing conversion from a scoped enumeration's underlying type to the enumeration itself, when its definition introduces no enumerator and the source uses a list-initialization syntax.

 * Configuration change performance is now better for C++ native projects and much better for C++/CLI projects. When a solution configuration is activated for the first time it will now be faster and all subsequent activations of this solution configuration will be almost instantaneous.
 
+**Visual Studio 2017 version 15.3**:
+* Several project and code wizards have been rewritten in the signature dialog style.
+* **Add Class** now launches the Add Class wizard directly. All of the other items that were previously here are now available under **Add > New Item**.
+* Win32 projects are now under the Windows Desktop category in the **New Project** dialog.
+* The Windows Console and Desktop Application templates now create the projects without displaying a wizard. There's a new Windows Desktop Wizard now under the same category that displays the same options as before.

 * The new SQLite-based database engine is now being used by default. This will speed up database operations like Go To Definition and Find All References, and will significantly improve initial solution parse time.

 Some of these features are common to other languages, and some are specific to C++. For more information about these new features, see [Announcing Visual Studio “15”](https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudio/2016/10/05/announcing-visual-studio-15-preview-5/).

 ### Support for non-MSBuild projects with Open Folder
 Visual Studio 2017 introduces the “Open Folder” feature, which enables you to code, build and debug in a folder containing source code without the need to create any solutions or projects. This makes it a lot simpler to get started with Visual Studio even if your project is not an MSBuild-based project. With “Open Folder” you get access to the powerful code understanding, editing, building and debugging capabilities that Visual Studio already provides for MSBuild projects. For more information, see [Open Folder projects in Visual C++](ide/non-msbuild-projects.md).

+* Added support to define global and configuration specific environment variables in "CppProperties.json" and "CMakeSettings.json". These environment variables can be consumed by debug configurations defined in "launch.vs.json" and tasks in "tasks.vs.json".
+* Improved support for CMake's Ninja generator, including the ability to easily target 64-bit platforms.
 
 ### CMake support via Open Folder
 Visual Studio 2017 introduces support for using CMake projects without converting to MSBuild project files (.vcxproj). For more information, see [CMake projects in Visual C++](ide/cmake-tools-for-visual-cpp.md). Opening CMake projects with “Open Folder” will automatically configure the environment for C++ editing, building and debugging.
