Vscode: Iteration Plan for September 2019

Created on 9 Sep 2019  路  10Comments  路  Source: microsoft/vscode

This plan captures our work in September. This is a 5-week iteration. We will ship our September Update in early October.

This iteration will be followed by a housekeeping iteration in October. Before we focus on issue grooming and issue reduction, we want to make progress on work we started in the Summer such as the API for custom editors and settings sync providers, or our overhaul of how tokenziation works in the editor. We also will spend some time polishing our UI. Examples are improving the presentation of hovers and completion items and alignment octicons with our new icon style. See below for details.

Endgame

  • Sept 30, 2019: Endgame begins
  • Oct 4, 2019: Endgame done

The endgame details for this iteration are tracked in tbd.

@danilaml they are now because the team has been working on them. It's too risky to update Electron for this version though.

I went to view fullscreen mode and now I can't exit full screen mode even when I shut the app down and reopen it

If you can, can you include the #29126 problem in the plan? After all, many people are worried about it.

Why are you returning to the older Electron?

From what I see, the last but one Insider update was

Electron: 6.0.9

Chrome: 76.0.3809.146
Node.js: 12.4.0
V8: 7.6.303.31-electron.0
OS: Windows_NT x64 10.0.18362

Now we have:

Version: 1.39.0-insider
Commit: 79978f96d3501f14b235ed0a33a7360772a726a3
Date: 2019-09-30T14:18:14.941Z

@Tyriar both open issues seem to be already fixed in Electron.
