v4.8.1-rc.1

Release candidate for 4.8.1

Fixed

Uses the correct hash for *.html files which had CSP errors in 4.8.0.
See #5712 for details.

v4.8.0

Code v1.72.1

Added

• Support for the Ports panel which leverages code-server's built-in proxy. It
  also uses VSCODE_PROXY_URI where {{port}} is replace when forwarding a port.
  Example: VSCODE_PROXY_URI=https://{{port}}.kyle.dev would forward an
  application running on localhost:3000 to https://3000.kyle.dev
• Support for --disable-workspace-trust CLI flag
• Support for opening a file from the command line at a specific line:column
• Added Ubuntu-based images for Docker releases. If you run into issues with
  PATH being overwritten in Docker please try the Ubuntu image as this is a
  problem in the Debian base image.

Changed

• Updated Code to 1.72.1

Fixed

• Enabled BROWSER environment variable
• Patched asExternalUri to work so now extensions run inside code-server can use it

v4.7.1

Code v1.71.2

Changed

• Updated Code to 1.71.2

Fixed

• Fixed install script not upgrading code-server when already installed on RPM-based machines
• Fixed install script failing to gain root permissions on FreeBSD

v4.7.0

Code v1.71.0

Changed

• Updated Code to 1.71.0

Removed

• Dropped heartbeat patch because it was implemented upstream

Fixed

• Add flags --unsafe-perm --legacy-peer-deps in npm-postinstall.sh which ensures installing with npm works correctly

v4.6.1

Code v1.70.2

Changed

• Updated Code to 1.70.2.
• Updated argon2 to 0.29.0 which should fix issues on FreeBSD.
• Updated docs to suggest using npm instead of yarn

Removed

• Dropped database migration patch affected to 4.0.2 versions and earlier.

Fixed

• Fixed preservation of process.execArgv which means you can pass --prof to profile code-server

v4.6.0

Code v1.70.1

Changed

• Updated Code to 1.70.1.

Added

• Added a heartbeat to sockets. This should prevent them from getting closed by
  reverse proxy timeouts when idle like NGINX's default 60-second timeout.

Fixed

• Fixed logout option appearing even when authentication is disabled.

v4.6.0-rc.1

Code v1.70.1

Changed

• Updated Code to 1.70.1.

Added

• Added a heartbeat to sockets. This should prevent them from getting closed by
  reverse proxy timeouts when idle like NGINX's default 60-second timeout.

Fixed

• Fixed logout option appearing even when authentication is disabled.

v4.5.2

Code v1.68.1

Security

• Fixed the proxy route not performing authentication. For example if you were
  to run a development HTTP server using python -m http.server 8000 then it
  would be accessible at my.domain/proxy/8000/ without any authentication.

  If all of the following apply to you please update as soon as possible:

  • You run code-server with the built-in password authentication.
  • You run unprotected HTTP services on ports accessible by code-server.

Changed

• Invoking code-server in the integrated terminal will now use the script that
  comes with upstream Code. This means flags like --wait will be
  automatically supported now. However the upstream script only has the ability
  to interact with the running code-server and cannot spawn new instances. If
  you need to spawn a new code-server from the integrated terminal please
  specify the full path to code-server's usual script (for example
  /usr/bin/code-server).

Fixed

• Invoking code-server in the integrated terminal will now work instead of
  erroring about not finding Node.

v4.5.2-rc.1

First release candidate for 4.5.2.

Please skip if you only want stable releases!

v4.5.1

v4.5.1

Code v1.68.1

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.

Changed

• We now use release/v<0.0.0> for the release branch name so it doesn't
  conflict with the tag name
• Added .prettierignore to ignore formatting files in lib/vscode

Added

• Allow more comprehensive affinity config in Helm chart
• Added custom message in Homebrew PR to make sure code-server maintainers are
  tagged
• Allow setting priorityClassName via Helm chart
• Added troubleshooting docs to CONTRIBUTING.md

Fixed

• Removed default memory limit which was set via NODE_OPTIONS
• Changed output in pipe to make it easier to debug code-server when doing live
  edits
• Fixed display-language patch to use correct path which broke in 4.5.0
• Fixed multiple code-server windows opening when using the code-server CLI in
  the Integrated Terminal
• Fixed Integrated Terminal not working when web base was not the root path

Security

• Updated glob-parent version in dependencies
