Code-Server v3.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-03-05 // about 4 years ago

  • 🏗 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
