VisualSVN 8.4 Release Notes
VisualSVN 8.4.0 provides a number of fixes as well as important usability improvements, in particular:

- A dedicated infobar for files with unresolved conflicts
- A set of shaped status icons
More details on the above-mentioned improvements are provided below. For the complete list of changes, see the VisualSVN 8.4.0 changelog.
You can download the latest VisualSVN 8.4 build from the official download page. Please note that VisualSVN 8.4 supports Visual Studio 2022 only.
Open in Web Interface command
A new command called Open in Web interface is now available in the main menu and also in the context menu for all versioned items. This command is a quick way to navigate to the corresponding item in the repository's Web Interface. For this new command to work, webviewer properties need to be configured in the repository.
Infobar for conflicts
When you open a file that has unresolved conflicts, the file will have a special infobar displayed at its top.
This is a small but important improvement in terms of usability, which makes it easier to notice an existing conflict (and resolve it before making further changes to the conflicted file).
Shaped icons
VisualSVN 8.4 adds a new optional set of status icons - Shaped icons. Shaped status icons work the same way as the usual Traffic lights status icons, but can be distinguished not only by their color but also by their shape. You can enable Shaped status icons in the VisualSVN Options from the main menu.
