Visual Studio Code releases new updates every month with new features and bug fixes, and the September 2024 release is now available.
Version 1.94 now includes:
- Find in Explorer - Quickly find files in the Explorer view with the improved Find control. As a consequence of this, the Explorer's Find widget on server-side folders requires v2.12.9-beta.4 or later with Proposed APIs enabled. Read more in this Developer Community post.
- Source Control Graph - More filtering options and interactivity in the Source Control Graph.
- Python test coverage - Run Python tests with coverage and get rich results in the editor.
- ESM - Faster VS Code startup thanks to the migration to ESM.
- Account preference - Specify which account to use for an extension.
- Copilot in Native REPL - Get code completions and Inline Chat in the Native REPL.
- Improved chat context - Drag & drop files or use IntelliSense for more relevant chat context.
- Test environment setup - Get help with setting up a test framework for your workspace.
The release also includes contributions from our very own @John Murray through pull requests that address open issues.
