Description
This plan captures our work in September. This is a 5-week iteration. We will ship our September Update in early October.
This iteration will be followed by a housekeeping iteration in October. Before we focus on issue grooming and issue reduction, we want to make progress on work we started in the Summer such as the API for custom editors and settings sync providers, or our overhaul of how tokenziation works in the editor. We also will spend some time polishing our UI. Examples are improving the presentation of hovers and completion items and alignment octicons with our new icon style. See below for details.
