Visual Studio Code 1.108.0

Visual Studio Code is a powerful IDE, dedicated to building Web applications and cloud programs. The tool is a lightweight and resembles the functionality of Visual Studio, however it features comprehensive revision and compiling utilities, packed in a modern looking interface. Go beyond syntax highlighting and autocomplete with IntelliSense, which provides smart completions based on variable types, function definitions, and imported modules.

Debug code right from the editor. Launch or attach to your running apps and debug with break points, call stacks, and an interactive console. Working with Git has never been easier. Review diffs, stage files, and make commits right from the editor. Push and pull from any hosted Git service. Visual Studio Code supports the usage of snippets, a feature that can help you significantly reduce the time spent writing code. You may easily launch the loaded application or attach the selected code to the main script. The powerful searching engine allows you to find components, files, programs or any item that matches the name. The Git function allows you to work with a repository, via the dedicated local folder. You can access all the available Git features by opening the repository’s root.

Release notes:

New Release
Agents:
Agent Skills (Experimental):
Setting: chat.useAgentSkills
VS Code now supports Agent Skills, allowing you to teach the coding agent new capabilities and provide domain-specific knowledge. Agent Skills are folders of instructions, scripts, and resources that GitHub Copilot can load when relevant to perform specialized tasks.
Skills are stored in directories with a SKILL.md file that defines the skill's behavior. VS Code automatically detects skills from the .github/skills folder in your workspace (or .claude/skills/ for backwards compatibility). They are then loaded on-demand into the chat context when relevant for your request.
Improvements to Agent Sessions view:
This iteration, we further improved the Agent Sessions view with several enhancements:
Keyboard access support for actions such as archive, read state, opening a session
Grouping of sessions based on state and age when showing side-by-side
Provide information on changed files and associated PRs for a session
Support for archiving multiple sessions at once from the new group sections
General accessibility improvements
Chat:
Chat picker is based on agent sessions:
The Quick Pick for chat sessions is now based on the same information that drives the Agent Sessions view. You can access any previous chat session from there and perform actions like archiving, renaming or deletion.
Chat title improvements:
The Chat view title control is now showing up, irrespective of how the Activity Bar is configured. Previously, it only showed up in the default Activity Bar configuration.
To quickly jump from one session to another, select the chat title to open the sessions Quick Pick and choose another session.
Open empty Chat on restart:
Setting:chat.viewRestorePreviousSession
From now on, previous chat sessions are not automatically restored when VS Code is restarted. Instead, an empty Chat view is shown where you can then access previous sessions from the Agent Sessions control.
Modify this behavior with the
chat.
