Today we auto migrated every project from the deprecated Xamarin Studio stacks to the new Visual Studio for Mac ones.

- Projects with _Xamarin Studio Alpha / Beta_ were migrated to the _Visual Studio for Mac, Beta channel_ stack
- Projects with _Xamarin Studio Stable_ were migrated to the _Visual Studio for Mac, Stable channel_ stack

For now you can still switch back to the Xamarin Studio stacks, but we’ll soon remove those stacks!

**If you have any issues on the Visual Studio for Mac stacks please let us know as we’ll soon remove the Xamarin Studio stacks!**
