This is a 5 week iteration compared to our usual 4 week iterations.
This release will be fully translated you will see that reflected in our endgame schedule. We will hold back making the stable release available until we have all trandslations.

Vacation/Off time

Several of us who have not yet been on vacation are out on average 1-2 weeks. Thus, team members show up with different loads.

I just wanted to express my appreciation to the whole VSCode team. You guys are doing some fantastic work!
I feel there isn't enough space for praise on GitHub, yet it's so important for any project like this. Knowing from experience, it also keeps people motivated and away from burning-out.
Out of the many public projects out there, you guys are one of the fastest, most agile and best organized I know of.
Bravo and Kudos, VSCode team! 馃憦 馃憦 鉂わ笍
