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

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

Upgrading is as easy as installing the new version over the old one. code-server

  conflict with the tag name

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

• Changed output in pipe to make it easier to debug code-server when doing live
  edits

• Fixed Integrated Terminal not working when web base was not the root path
