The master branch has added new properties such as transform-scale and transform-rotation. When using the VSCode Slint extension (version 1.13.1), the LSP and Live-Preview don't work. It is recommended to release the latest preview version of the Slint extension to facilitate better testing.

For example, some extensions can switch to Pre-Release version.

For historical reasons, the nightly extension is a different extension and doesn't make use of the pre-release feature.
