    is setting sync going to be released as part of this release?

    Is the OSS build tool link private?

    Sanket Bhalerao (@sanket-bhalerao) I don't think so, it's still disabled in Insider builds...but it's mentioned in the changelog.

    Benjamin Staneck (@Stanzilla), i saw that, raised a bug for this.
    #91875 - which was closed without a proper explanation, why its in release notes if its not released.
    so created another #91882

    Sanket Bhalerao (@sanket-bhalerao) I guess the release notes in Insiders aren't formally released yet, so are subject to change.

    Seeing it another way, when 1.43 releases (probably later this week) its release notes will tell 1.43 users that they can get a preview of Settings Sync in the Insiders release, which by then will be 1.44.0-insider.

    Sanket Bhalerao (@sanket-bhalerao) We are preparing release notes for next major release (1.43.0) (1.44.0) and we are making Settings Sync ready for preview from next insiders (1.44.0-insiders). I was completely forgotten that current insiders picks up this release notes. I will update the release notes and mention from which insiders it will be available from.

    Sorry for the confusion.

    Typo there. The next major release Sandeep Somavarapu (@sandy081) is referring to is 1.43.0

    release notes are collected in a file named Month_Year.md

    Your endgame template still quite outdated (:

    Is it possible to use the last day as "expected release date", because It's usually published later:

    March 4 Expected release date (this may change)

    Wednesday/Thursday

    • Build stable for all platforms endgame master
    • ...

    Wednesday - March 4
    Thursday - March 5

    - March 4 Expected release date (this may change)
+ March 5 Expected release date (this may change)

    Also using a link to the release notes document instead of repository:

    - https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-docs/tree/vnext/release-notes
+ https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_43.md

    Released this yesterday.

    @nicholasengleman sometimes things get delayed due to bugs we find late or issues we hit during release.

    Alexander (@usernamehw) added the expected release day note, I'm not changing the link to the release notes md though as that would require yet another thing for the endgame master to do every month.
