VSCodium 1.116.02821 released
The VSCodium update to version 1.116 swaps in Electron 39.8.4 for snappier performance while quietly dropping that mandatory onboarding screen. PowerPC64 LE users finally get working DEB and RPM packages, though developers should test native extensions before pushing the upgrade to production machines. Rolling out the update follows standard installation steps across Windows, Linux, and macOS, but adjusting the new terminal argument parser and update cooldown settings will keep background processes from eating into system resources. IT admins managing enterprise deployments will want to review the fresh troubleshooting notes for group policy and Defender exclusions before letting it run on shared workstations.
