v4.5.1

Upgrading is as easy as installing the new version over the old one. code-server
maintains all user data in ~/.local/share/code-server so that it is preserved in between
installations.

Full Changelog: v4.1.0...v4.2.0

v4.1.0

v4.1.0

Code 1.63.0

Upgrading is as easy as installing the new version over the old one. code-server
maintains all user data in ~/.local/share/code-server so that it is preserved in between
installations.

Added

• Support for injecting GitHub token into Code so extensions can make use of it.
  This can be done with the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable or github-auth
  in the config file.
• New flag --socket-mode allows setting the mode (file permissions) of the
  socket created when using --socket.
• The version of Code bundled with code-server now appears when using the
  --version flag. For example: 4.0.2 5cdfe74686aa73e023f8354a9a6014eb30caa7dd with Code 1.63.0.
  If you have been parsing this flag for the version you might want to use
  --version --json instead as doing that will be more stable.

Changed

• The workspace or folder passed on the CLI will now use the same redirect
  method that the last opened workspace or folder uses. This means if you use
  something like code-server /path/to/dir you will now get a query parameter
  added (like so: my-domain.tld?folder=/path/to/dir), making it easier to edit
  by hand and making it consistent with the last opened and menu open behaviors.
• The folder/workspace query parameter no longer has encoded slashes, making
  them more readable and editable by hand. This was only affecting the last
  opened behavior, not opens from the menu.

Fixed

• Fix web sockets not connecting when using --cert.
• Prevent workspace state collisions when opening a workspace that shares the
  same file path with another workspace on a different machine that shares the
  same domain. This was causing files opened in one workspace to be "re-"opened
  in the other workspace when the other workspace is opened.
• Pin the Express version which should make installing from npm work again.
• Propagate signals to code-server in the Docker image which means it should
  stop more quickly and gracefully.
• Fix missing argon binaries in the standalone releases on arm machines.

v4.0.2

v4.0.2

VS Code v1.63.0

Fixed

• Unset the BROWSER environment variable. This fixes applications that hard
  exit when trying to spawn the helper script BROWSER points to because the
  file is missing. While we do include the script now we are leaving the
  variable omitted because the script does not work yet.

v4.0.1

v4.0.1

VS Code v1.63.0

code-server has been rebased on upstream's newly open-sourced server
implementation (#4414).

Changed

• Web socket compression has been made the default (when supported). This means
  the --enable flag will no longer take permessage-deflate as an option.
• The static endpoint can no longer reach outside code-server. However the
  vscode-remote-resource endpoint still can.
• OpenVSX has been made the default marketplace.
• The last opened folder/workspace is no longer stored separately in the
  settings file (we rely on the already-existing query object instead).
• The marketplace override environment variables SERVICE_URL and ITEM_URL
  have been replaced with a single EXTENSIONS_GALLERY variable that
  corresponds to extensionsGallery in VS Code's product.json.

Removed

• Extra extension directories have been removed. The --extra-extensions-dir
  and --extra-builtin-extensions-dir flags will no longer be accepted.
• The --install-source flag has been removed.

Deprecated

• --link is now deprecated (#4562).

Security

• We fixed a XSS vulnerability by escaping HTML from messages in the error page (#4430).

Cheers 🎉

• The --install-source and --locale flags have been removed.

Breaking Changes

• You can no longer change the display language. This has been removed upstream but we hope to see if we can patch it again. Tracking in #4598

Cheers! 🍻
