''First release of AddOn Studio 2015 for World of Warcraft (4.0.x.x for 2015 version)''

; 4.0 (2015)
General:
* Can be installed and run on the same machine, or at same time, as AddOn Studio 2010 for WoW.
* Includes all of the same features as 'AS 2010 for WoW', where both version have exact feature parity for AddOn Studio for WoW features, and all major features related to WoW and Lua work exactly the same.
* Is intended continue to be inter-changeable with AS 2010 for WoW, where users can choose the version they want to use based on needs and platform choice. This includes ability to load the same projects and other files. 

Differences:
* AS 2015 for WoW is based on Visual Studio 2015 and includes all of the general updated features of the base shell, base editors, tool windows, and so on. 
* AS 2015 for WoW will only include the Web project features (useful for seeing a flat view of the WoW Toolkits or WoW exported UI files) only if they are installed with the VS 2105 CE install, which they are by default. However, the html and xml editors are part of the default editors and will be available regardless.
* Windows XP is no longer a supported platform on AS 2015 for WoW, as support for XP was dropped for VS versions after VS 2010.
* The current VS 2015 CE prerequisite for AS 2015 for WoW is much, much larger, than the Isolated Shell AS 2010 for WoW. The Isolated Shell for 2015 is fairly anemic and not been updated by MS to support Update 3 and uses an outdated set of files that currently makes it unusable so far as a dependency for AS 2015 for WoW. Work will continue to try to use Isolated Shell, or some kind of automated install of CE with a set of features that is much smaller. Don't try to remove features on CE install as there are none exposed in the MS Installer UI to remove. :P

Notes:
* 2015 versions will be 4.0.x.x, where 2010 versions will continue to be 3.0.x.x. Version numbers that otherwise match are identical for AddOn Studio for WoW features. Normally 2010 and 2015 version will be released and announced near to at the same time.
* The deployable root folder in the .zip and .7z files for this version is 'aswow2015' to disambiguate other side-by-side versions. This folder should simply be replaced when upgrading to new versions AddOn Studio 2015 for WoW, and is the new default deploy folder name. As always, the actual root folder can be named whatever someone wants as is a portable install.

; 3.0 (2010)
: Note: Releases for AddOn Studio 2010 for World of Warcraft will continue to use 3.0.xxxxx.x versioning scheme. Releases for AddOn Studio 2015 for World of Warcraft will versioned as 4.0.xxxxx.x, starting with 4 as the major version number. For this first release the 2015 version will have it's own release notes, see above.

General:
* General major build and code rework for better platform support, and more stability.
* Improved initial auto setup mechanism or when running 'reset.cmd' (as Administrator).
* Lots of validation and bug fixes for current versions of Windows 10.
* Much much more.

Notes:
* The deployable root folder in the .zip and .7z files has changed from 'aswow' to 'aswow2010' to disambiguate possible future side-by-side versions. This new folder should simply replace any 'aswow' folders for upgrading AddOn Studio 2010 for WoW, and is the new default deploy folder name. As always, the actual root folder can be named whatever someone wants as is a portable install.
