September 2018 (version 1.28)
Welcome to the September 2018 release of Visual Studio Code. As announced in the September iteration plan, we focused on housekeeping our GitHub issues and pull requests. Across all of our VS Code repositories, we closed (either triaged or fixed) 3918 issues. While we closed issues, you created 2187 new issues. This resulted in a net reduction of 1731 issues. The main vscode repository now has 2472 open feature requests and 625 open bugs. In addition, we closed 212 pull requests.
It was great to see how much you care about our progress. Benjamin Lannon published a personal site with a live tracker of the issue numbers in our main repository. It nicely shows the progress we made since September 11.
It also shows what happens as soon as we stop paying attention to reducing issues. Below are the last three days of last week while we were getting ready for this release. As you can see, there will be more issue grooming iterations in our future.
During this housekeeping milestone, we addressed several feature requests and community pull requests also resulted in new features. Here are some of the release highlights:
