We have a new December release!

First, the Visual Studio Code team would like to thank you with a personal note and information about closing bugs on GitHub. Please read that here:

Next, let's look at the new Insider's Channel feature so you can automatically get the prerelease builds!

Insider's Channel

There is now a setting to subscribe to the Insider's channel to get prerelease VS Code builds automatically. The setting is update.channel and it defaults to stable which is the current release build.  Change the value to insiders and restart VS Code to install prerelease builds. For more details, refer to How can I test prerelease versions of VS Code?.

If you know any kids, you can give them the gift of a future career in technology!

Thanks for stopping. Bye!
