Description
This plan captures our work in May. This is a 5-week iteration. We will ship in early June.
Update: We extended the May iteration by one week and now begin our endgame end-of-day of May 29. Since VS Code Insiders is used in several keynotes and sessions during the Build conference, we will freeze Insiders May 20 - 25 to give the presenters a breather.
Endgame
- May 29, 2023: Endgame begins
- June 2, 2023: Endgame done
The endgame details for this iteration are tracked here.
