v3.4.1

@nhooyr nhooyr released this Jun 4, 2020

VS Code v1.45.1

Bug Fixes

  • We do not bundle any dynamic libraries in releases anymore #1738

    • It was causing bizarre issues and we couldn't make it work perfectly.
    • On Linux we now compile on CentOS 7 so that the minimum glibc version is v2.17 and glibcxx is v3.4.18
    • On macOS we now bundle in a fully static release of node.

  • Hopefully this one fixes autoupdates from 3.2.0 once and for all.

    • We're now publishing duplicate releases without the v prefix so that auto updates from 3.2.0 work. See #1746 and #1758 for background.
    • Note there is no auto updating in any of the recent releases including this one, the extra releases only exist to enable users on 3.2.0 to auto update to the latest versions.

  • The config file's extensions-dir and user-data-dir parameters are now properly obeyed #1750

    • This was supposed to be fixed in the last release but because of a subtle bug it turned out it was printing the correct directories but not actually using them.

  • Using the deprecated root code-server symlink now warns on usage that it will be removed in the next few weeks.

    • The entry script now also handles recursive symlinks correctly.

  • globalStorageHome is now created on startup #1693

    • So extensions that rely on it being there should work now

v3.4.0

@nhooyr nhooyr released this May 28, 2020

VS Code v1.45.1

Features

Bug Fixes

  • You can now set user-data-dir and extensions-dir in config.yaml #1676

  • Fixed a regression where --install-extension was installing into the incorrect path #1713

  • We made some changes to make autoupdates from v3.2.0 work again.

    • To recap we removed autoupdating in v3.3.0 and restructured
      the releases a bit which caused autoupdates on v3.2.0 to break. See #1664
    • To fix this:
      1. We added a symlink from code-server to bin/code-server to the root of the release.
      2. We now upload duplicate release assets for the release naming scheme used by v3.2.0.
        • i.e we have macos-amd64 and darwin-x86_64 as well as linux-amd64 and linux-x86_64.
    • In the next few weeks the symlinks and the duplicate release assets will be removed so
      please update your scripts to use the new release scheme.

VS Code v1.46.0

New Features

  • We now have a config file you can use to set parameters in ~/.config/code-server/config.yaml
  • We now have .deb and .rpm releases, a homebrew package and an npm package
  • We now have a setup guide in ./doc/guide.md
  • ./doc/FAQ.md has been updated with more questions and a table of contents

Bug Fixes

  • $PASSWORD is unset after being grabbed #1583
  • Infinite reloads have been fixed #1581

Breaking Changes

With the revamped releases and documentation, we found a few minor issues we wanted to clean up even though they are breaking changes.

  • The code-server script in the self contained releases is now in a bin directory
    • Now you can add the bin directory to your $PATH to easily call it without linking the binary into a directory in $PATH
    • This means there is no code-server script in the root of the release, you'll need to update the path in your own scripts to bin/code-server
    • There is now a symlink in code-server to bin/code-server in v3.3.1 so auto updates and your scripts still work but please use bin/code-server as this symlink will be removed in the next few weeks
  • Automatic updates have been removed (#1483, #1513, #1622)
    • It's a better idea to use your system package manager to install anyway as we now have .deb and .rpm packages in this release!
    • This means you can no longer pass in --disable-updates
  • The naming of the release assets has been changed to use amd64, arm64 and macos
    • More clear and easy to follow, especially for new users
    • There is precedent for the darwin -> macOS name change in Neovim
  • There will be no separate -arm64 docker tag, the same tag will be used for both the amd64 and arm64 images with docker's multi arch image support
  • The default host is now always 127.0.0.1 as set in the default config file
    • Previously it would be 0.0.0.0 if both a cert and password authentication was enabled
  • The macOS data directory has been moved from ~/Library/Application Support/code-server to ~/.local/share/code-server to better match user expectations
    • When you run v3.3.0 for the first time, it will automatically copy from the old data directory to the new one
  • The macOS release is now a .tar.gz instead of a .zip to match the other releases
