Release Notes Published
Welcome to the October 2021 release of Visual Studio Code. In addition to releasing a preview of vscode.dev, we announced in the October iteration plan that we would focus on housekeeping GitHub issues and pull requests (see our issue cleanup guide). Across all of our VS Code repositories, we closed (either triaged or fixed) 4163 issues. While we closed issues, you created 2222 new issues. The main vscode repository now has 2491 open feature requests and 1246 open bugs. In addition, we closed 194 pull requests.
As in previous years, we used the live tracker from Benjamin Lannon to track our progress:
Given the focus on shipping vscode.dev, not everybody on the team had cycles for clean-up, so some issue clean-up will continue in November. After housekeeping, we also addressed feature requests and community pull requests.
Watch a highlight of the new features in this version in the VS Code team's release party. You can find the recording of the event on our YouTube channel.
