April Iteration Plan - Githubissues

kieferrm commented 7 years ago

This plan captures the focus of our work during the April iteration. It's a 4 week iteration. We will ship early May.

The last few iterations were exciting for us. We shipped an abundance of features, and every day we see more new users. With more users comes more activity in our repo: more PRs, more issues, more discussions. It's a great. Thank you!

We have been trying hard to keep up with everything. But, we feel our issue situation is not in the best possible shape. So, for this iteration, we'll slightly shift our focus: We'll focus more on grooming our issues, fixing bugs, and improving engineering than we'll focus on new features.

We'll still continue to work on items that have been in flight. For example, last month, we started the exploration to support multi-root workspaces (#396). We'll continue the design and planning work this iteration. BTW, this is a big one and it will take us several iterations to ship it all.

No worries, our release notes will still have a few entries :smile:.

Endgame

April, 25th: Code freeze for the endgame (shifted it by one day since we have less new features to test)
April, 28th: Endgame done

The endgame details for this iteration are tracked in #25250.

Hi, Is the openSuse rpm repo is updated? If I refresh it is not updating. saying vs code is already up-to-date

egamma commented 7 years ago

closing April update has been published.

Tyriar commented 7 years ago

@sathish25071992 yes, unfortunately there is a bit of a delay with our signing system this release. You can wait 1-2 days until it's done or install the rpm from the site and ignore the update available message.
