The January update to Visual Studio Code (version 1.75) introduces profiles, tree view search history, accessibility improvements, and more.
VS Code had skipped the December update, and the development team said it focused on GitHub issues and pull requests.
- The
Profiles feature, generally available now, enables developers to
customize different settings and extensions for different
scenarios/projects.
- Profiles is not supported in remote scenarios like GitHub Codespaces, and the team is working on enabling it.
- In
November, Microsoft announced that VS Code would sign all new extension
uploads. Now it is in the process of verifying and signing all existing
extensions.
- The Workbench receives improved multi-view
resizing support, improved grid layout, the ability to restore defaults
from the Customize Layout command, and a simplified preferences menu.
- The
Continue Working On feature supports starting in a Git repository in a
local window and continuing in a remote window like GitHub Codespaces.
