In future, Microsoft will publish stable releases of Visual Studio Code weekly instead of monthly. Credit: Gorodenkoff / Shutterstock Microsoft is speeding up the delivery of its Visual Studio Code updates. Since last summer, the company has been making monthly releases, each with three or four patches and new functionality, but starting from March 9 the changes will come weekly, it announced on GitHub. Visual Studio Code is a free source-code editor that is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Raspberry Pi OS and comes with support for JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js, as well as extensions for a variety of other languages. The news of the changes has been met with guarded approval from users. Many welcomed the new regularity, although one expressed concern that standards would be slipping. “Will we be trading faster releases for a less stable product, with things thrown in willy-nilly with no testing, and with no way to provide feedback?” asked one user, while another user said that while he liked it personally, he wondered if it meant “having to deal with customers on a much wider range of versions.” In its last monthly update, Microsoft released Visual Studio Code 1.109, which introduced multiple enhancements for coding agents, including improvements for optimization, extensibility, security, and session management.
