Disconnected files
One new feature in VS.Php 2.6 is the ability to know on a remote server project about which files you have a local cache copy and which you don't. For performance reasons, when you work on a remote server project, only the files you open get downloaded locally. But after a while you may not know which files you have locally and which you don't. Files that aren't locally can not participate on intellisense for obvious reasons.
VS.Php 2.6 shows an overlay icon on files that you don't have a local copy. You can then use this as an indication as to which files you may want to download for intellisense or other purposes. By simply opening the file, VS.Php would create a local copy of the file. The following is a screenshot showing the overlay icon for files that aren't locally cached.
