Visual Studio Code 1.116.0 released
Microsoft ships GitHub Copilot as a built-in feature in Visual Studio Code 1.116 so nobody needs to hunt down plugins just to get started with AI suggestions. Power users will appreciate the new Agent Debug Logs since they allow tracking of failed sessions through logs persisted directly on local storage. Terminal interactions get smoother thanks to foreground support and notifications that run by default rather than requiring manual polling for results. Edit Mode faces its end date in version 1.125 so veteran users will need to shift workflows while new setups benefit from a more integrated experience.
