The latest update for Visual Studio Code, version 1.92, brings a host of new features and improvements that are set to enhance the developer experience. This release includes several key updates:
- Dev Containers GPG keyboxd support: The GPG forwarding for Dev Containers now supports the use of GPG's new keyboxd service for public keys by the local machine, the container, or both.
- SSH Local port range configuration: The usable range of local ports is now configurable with the remote.SSH.preferredLocalPortRange setting. This is particularly useful in cases where a range of local ports is reserved on a machine but not yet bound.
- Improved Windows ARM support: Fixes a bug that prevented connections to remote ARM-based Windows machines.
- Permit PTY allocation: Users with remote connection issues now have the ability to omit the '-T' flag from the generated ssh connection command. This feature is enabled with the remote.SSH.permitPtyAllocation setting.
- Ignore curlrc and wgetrc files by default: Execution of curl and wget within the extension's bootstrapping script now ignores the default configuration files on the remote, providing greater consistency and reliability.
These updates are designed to provide greater flexibility, improved performance, and enhanced reliability for developers working with Visual Studio Code.
