This morning we implemented a mitigation fix and created a new release and you should now be on VS Code 1.7.1. If you had upgraded to 1.7, you would have been prompted to update back to 1.6.1. Novemby Wade Anderson, night Wednesday November 2nd, we rolled back the 1.7 release of Visual Studio Code to 1.6.1.

I didn’t actually know about the multitude of Microsoft Stores, but when I look in mine (based in Belgium), I also see that same launch date, and I agree that these listed metadata are confusing (the current version and release date would be more helpful, but I’m not sure this is something David Anthoff can force from his side). Regarding that indicated launch date (Data de lançamento), that to me seems just the original launch date. To my knowledge there is nothing else out there in the Microsoft Store than the juliaup tool, and it is actually just called Julia, so I don’t think you can miss it. Julia in VS Code - What’s New | David Anthoff, Zac Nugent | JuliaCon2021 - YouTube for further reference on VS Code (not specific to Windows).Julia in the Windows Store | David Anthoff | JuliaCon2021 - YouTube on the Julia installer from the Microsoft store and the juliaup version control tool (it only got so much better since then - I wholeheartedly recommend that way of installing and maintaining Julia for Windows 10 users!).By just switching the juliaup default channel, you can also easily change the version used in VS Code.Ĭheck out David Anthoff’s presentations on JuliaCon 2021: Moreover, juliaup lets you install multiple versions (such as older ones, or beta releases) next to each other in parallel channels. One great advantage is that when updating ( shell> juliaup update whenever a new release is available that you want to install), and restarting VS Code, it will also automatically find that new version, without you having to think about changing that path in the extension settings.


Once installed from there, VS Code will just find that executable as juliaup does the PATH management for you. One can just leave that field blank, and use the juliaup version control tool that comes with the Julia installer in Microsoft Store. On Windows 10, it can get even more “handsfree” than editing the Julia Executable Path in the VS Code extension settings.
