Running multiple projects

Type dependency diagrams

• Rider 2023.3 allows you to explore the relationships and dependencies between different classes, structs, interfaces, and modules in your solution through type dependency diagrams.

New inspections for identifying vulnerable API usages

• Rider 2023.3 brings a new security inspection feature designed to make published vulnerabilities more apparent and easier to understand.
• The new inspections identify vulnerable NuGet packages in your project and highlight instances where vulnerable methods from these libraries are used in your code. If a vulnerability is detected, the system highlights the problematic code and offers quick actions to remedy it. These actions include recommending an update to a newer package version and offering in-depth information about the detected vulnerabilities.
