Iteration Plan for September 2019 #80591
Description
This plan captures our work in September. This is a 5-week iteration. We will ship our September Update in early October.
This iteration will be followed by a housekeeping iteration in October. Before we focus on issue grooming and issue reduction, we want to make progress on work we started in the Summer such as the API for custom editors and settings sync providers, or our overhaul of how tokenziation works in the editor. We also will spend some time polishing our UI. Examples are improving the presentation of hovers and completion items and alignment octicons with our new icon style. See below for details.
Endgame
- Sept 30, 2019: Endgame begins

Maybe anyone from VSCode team wanna fix #76537? Or available alternative to VSCode with same design (especially GUI find), maybe Oni v2?

If you can, can you include the #29126 problem in the plan? After all, many people are worried about it.

Daniel Imms (@Tyriar) both open issues seem to be already fixed in Electron.
Tyriar commentedon Oct 8, 2019
Danila Malyutin (@danilaml) they are now because the team has been working on them. It's too risky to update Electron for this version though.
TonioGela commentedon Oct 11, 2019
Jeff Registre (@jregistr) apparently no luck, it's marked as still in progress :(
