Visual Studio Code 1.145 has been released, introducing features like remote agents, cron automations, and improved chat controls. The update focuses on creating a more persistent and portable "agent host" that allows sessions to continue across different windows and machines, enhancing continuity for users. It also offers improved enterprise management features such as MCP allowlisting and blocked uninstalls for managed plugins, while trimming some tools from the Local harness. Additionally, a fun Blobby jump game has been included, showcasing the editor's lighter side amid its serious enhancements

Visual Studio Code 1.145 Stable Release: Remote Agents, Cron Automations and More

VS Code 1.145 reached the Stable channel today, pushing the editor further into "agent host" territory with sessions that survive across windows, machines, and folder closures. The biggest additions are remote agents that feel local, cron-powered scheduling for recurring automations, verbosity controls to mute chat noise, and the ability to mix different AI harnesses in a single session. On the enterprise side, organizations now get authoritative MCP allowlisting, blocked uninstall for managed plugins, and clearer sandboxing guidance. Microsoft also trimmed several tools from the Local harness, shipped two bug fixes, and included a throwaway Blobby jump game.
