Launching Blender via VS Code results in a crash

I have been using this extension since it was first announced and had zero problems with it (on Windows and Linux) until yesterday.

Starting yesterday, on Windows, Blender launches, but the app crashes after the following spew:

Executing task in folder TestMe: c:\Users\xyz\Desktop\test\blender-2.80.0-git.e80cbdac331a-windows64\blender.exe --python C:\Users\xyz.vscode\extensions\jacqueslucke.blender-development-0.0.12\pythonFiles\launch.py <

I have tried manually upgrading all the packages listed, but it never seems to resolve the issue. I have uninstalled and reinstalled VS Code, all extensions, all versions of Python, etc. I can launch Blender just fine inside whatever build I make or download, but I cannot fully launch Blender VS Code using the Blender Development extension like I used to.
