VS Code v1.45.1

Bug Fixes

• We do not bundle any dynamic libraries in releases anymore #1738

  • It was causing bizarre issues and we couldn't make it work perfectly.
  • On Linux we now compile on CentOS 7 so that the minimum glibc version is v2.17 and glibcxx is v3.4.18
  • On macOS we now bundle in a fully static release of node.

• Hopefully this one fixes autoupdates from 3.2.0 once and for all.

  • We're now publishing duplicate releases without the v prefix so that auto updates from 3.2.0 work. See #1746 and #1758 for background.
  • Note there is no auto updating in any of the recent releases including this one, the extra releases only exist to enable users on 3.2.0 to auto update to the latest versions.

• The config file's extensions-dir and user-data-dir parameters are now properly obeyed #1750

  • This was supposed to be fixed in the last release but because of a subtle bug it turned out it was printing the correct directories but not actually using them.

• Using the deprecated root code-server symlink now warns on usage that it will be removed in the next few weeks.

  • The entry script now also handles recursive symlinks correctly.

• globalStorageHome is now created on startup #1693

  • So extensions that rely on it being there should work now
