Breaking Changes

With the revamped releases and documentation, we found a few minor issues we wanted to clean up even though they are breaking changes.

• The code-server script in the self contained releases is now in a bin directory
  • Now you can add the bin directory to your $PATH to easily call it without linking the binary into a directory in $PATH
  • This means there is no code-server script in the root of the release, you'll need to update the path in your own scripts to bin/code-server
  • There is now a symlink in code-server to bin/code-server in v3.3.1 so auto updates and your scripts still work but please use bin/code-server as this symlink will be removed in the next few weeks
• Automatic updates have been removed (#1483, #1513, #1622)
  • It's a better idea to use your system package manager to install anyway as we now have .deb and .rpm packages in this release!
  • This means you can no longer pass in --disable-updates
• The naming of the release assets has been changed to use amd64, arm64 and macos
  • More clear and easy to follow, especially for new users
  • There is precedent for the darwin -> macOS name change in Neovim
• There will be no separate -arm64 docker tag, the same tag will be used for both the amd64 and arm64 images with docker's multi arch image support
• The default host is now always 127.0.0.1 as set in the default config file
  • Previously it would be 0.0.0.0 if both a cert and password authentication was enabled
• The macOS data directory has been moved from ~/Library/Application Support/code-server to ~/.local/share/code-server to better match user expectations
  • When you run v3.3.0 for the first time, it will automatically copy from the old data directory to the new one
• The macOS release is now a .tar.gz instead of a .zip to match the other releases

3.2.0

• Update node to the latest LTS (12.16.3).
• Update VS Code to 1.44.2.
• Allow extensions of any kind (for example, vscode-icons works again).
• Deprecate --host and --port in favor of --bind-addr which takes the form host:port. For example: --bind-addr localhost:8080. #1013
• Add rate limiting to the login endpoint. #1320
• Remove the built-in SSH server. #1502
  • You can remove the --ssh-host-key and --disable-ssh flags from your scripts.
• Fix extensions running in the browser not getting the correct storage path. #1551
• Allow data: URIs in the CSP for font-src. #1530
• Fix code-server script on macOS. #1537
• Fix update errors not being show to the user. #1532
• Allow specifying a workspace on the command line. #1535

VS Code version: 1.43.2

3.0.1

arm64 builds are back.

3.0.0

We're still working on arm64 builds (Travis appears to swallow the output and then terminates the build because there's no output).

V3 has some significant changes that will need to be accounted for in your
scripts.

• We use semantic versioning now. The VS Code version will no longer be included
  in the tag or the release file name.

• Releases are now loose files and are no longer packed into a single binary so
  be sure to move the entire directory. Inside the directory is an entry script
  code-server that will launch with the bundled Node.

  If you want to do something like put the entry script in /usr/bin and the
  code-server files in /usr/lib we recommend you use a symlink: ln -s /usr/lib/code-server/code-server /usr/bin/code-server.

  You can also run code-server with your own Node binary instead of the bundled
  one: node /path/to/code-server/out/node/entry.js.

• V2 cannot update to V3 automatically due to the structural changes so you’ll
  need to manually download and restart code-server in order to update.

• If you want to build or develop please check out
  https://github.com/cdr/code-server/blob/3.0.0/doc/CONTRIBUTING.md as the steps
  have changed.
