Hello: May I ask why the latest version of cpptools downloaded from visual studio marketplace is 1.9.1 but the latest version here is still 1.8.4? And the change log in marketplace is newer than github Since I modified the source code of cpptools release branch and the version is 1.8.2-main and I need to download the binaries |

1.9.1 is a "pre-release" (insiders) version (updates faster, up to once a week or two). 1.8.4 is the "release" version (updates slower, every 6 weeks or so). The latest pre-release version may have a higher chance of having a regression (e.g. currently there is 1 known crash regression that will be fixed in 1.9.2). The release branch on GitHub matches binaries from 1.8.4 (the insiders branch matches 1.9.1 and main matches our pending 1.9.2). The version in the package.json is typically for the last previous release, which is why it shows 1.8.2-main. |
