monthly gapgap of ten days or lessLabels are minor versions, 1.n.

VS Code 1.143 went up on GitHub on 22 October 2026. Through February the editor shipped once a month, with 26 to 57 days between minor releases. Since 1.112 in March every gap has been five to nine days.

That makes 33 minor releases since 9 March, against 22 in the two years before. The GitHub entries carry no notes beyond a link to the updates page, so the X release threads are where the changes get named, and the 1.143 thread is about Copilot sessions, the Agents window and comparing models.

As of 24 October 2026.
