Changes since VS2017 (VB 15)

• https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/issues/415 In VB 15, elements in tuple literals can be named explicitly, but in VB 15.3, elements that aren't named explicitly will get an inferred named. This uses the same rules as members in anonymous types which aren't named explicitly. For instance, Dim t = (a, b.c, Me.d) will produce a tuple with element names "a", "c" and "d". As a result, an invocation on a tuple member may result in a different result than it did in VB 15. Consider the case where the type of a is System.Func(Of Boolean) and you write Dim local = t.a(). This will now find the first element of the tuple and invoke it, whereas previously it could only mean "invoke an extension method named 'a'".

• https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/20873 In Roslyn 2.3, the includePrivateMembers parameter of the EmitOptions constructor was changed to use true as its default value. This is a binary compatibility break. So clients using this API may have to re-compile, to pick up the new default value. An update will include a mitigation (ignoring the old default value when trying to emit a full assembly).

• Visual Studio 2017 version 15.8: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/pull/27461 The method LanguageVersionFacts.TryParse is no longer an extension method.
