v1.16.0
We are excited to release v1.16 of the Quantum Development Kit. The big features of this release are:
Copilot integration
With VS Code Copilot integration you can now use Copilot to to assist with many tasks such as writing code, generating tests, connecting to an Azure Quantum workspace, submit jobs to run on hardware, and more!
See the wiki page at https://github.com/microsoft/qsharp/wiki/Make-the-most-of-the-QDK-and-VS-Code-agent-mode for more info, as well as tips and best practices.
Circuit Editor
You can now add .qsc files to your project which provide a drag-and-drop circuit editor user interface to create quantum operations, which can then be called from your Q# code.
See the wiki page at https://github.com/microsoft/qsharp/wiki/Circuit-Editor for more details.
