4.17.0 - 2023-09-22

Code v1.82.2

Added

• Japanese locale.
• CODE_SERVER_HOST environment variable.

Changed

• Update to Code 1.82.2. This includes an update to Node 18, which also means that the minimum glibc is now 2.28. If you need to maintain a lower glibc then you can take a version of Node 18 that is compiled with a lower glibc and use that to build code-server (or at a minimum rebuild the native modules).
• Display paths to config files in full rather than abbreviated. If you have trouble with the password not working please update and make sure the displayed config paths are what you expect.

Fixed

• Fix some dependency issues for the standalone arm64 and armv7l releases. If you had issues with missing or failing modules please try these new builds.

4.16.1 - 2023-07-31

Code v1.80.2

Changed

• Updated to Code 1.80.2.

4.16.0 - 2023-07-28

Code v1.80.1

Added

• --disable-proxy flag. This disables the domain and path proxies but it does not disable the ports panel in Code. That can be disabled by using remote.autoForwardPorts=false in your settings.

4.15.0 - 2023-07-21

Code v1.80.1

Changed

• Updated to Code 1.80.1.

Added

• --trusted-origin flag for specifying origins that you trust but do not control (for example a reverse proxy).

Code v1.79.2

4.14.1 - 2023-06-26

Code v1.79.2

Security

• Remove extra write permissions on the Node binary bundled with the linux-amd64 tarball. If you extract the tar without a umask this could mean the Node binary would be unexpectedly writable.

Fixed

• Inability to launch multiple instances of code-server for different users.

Added

• --session-socket CLI flag to configure the location of the session socket. By default it will be placed in <user data dir>/code-server-ipc.sock.

4.14.0 - 2023-06-16

Code v1.79.2

Added

• --domain-proxy now supports {{port}} and {{host}} template variables.

Changed

• Updated to Code 1.79.2
• Files opened from an external terminal will now open in the most closely related window rather than in the last opened window.

4.13.0 - 2023-05-19

Code v1.78.2

Changed

• Updated to Code 1.78.2.

Fixed

• Proxying files that contain non-ASCII characters.
• Origin check when X-Forwarded-Host contains comma-separated hosts.

4.12.0 - 2023-04-21

Code v1.77.3

Changed

• Updated to Code 1.77.3
• Ports panel will use domain-based proxy (instead of the default path-based proxy) when set via --proxy-domain.
• Apply --app-name to the PWA title.

Added

• Thai translation for login page.
• Debug logs around the origin security check. If you are getting forbidden errors on web sockets please run code-server with --log debug to see why the requests are being blocked.

4.11.0 - 2023-03-16

Code v1.76.1

Changed

• Updated to Code 1.76.1

4.10.1 - 2023-03-04

Code v1.75.1

Security

Added an origin check to web sockets to prevent cross-site hijacking attacks on users using older or niche browser that do not support SameSite cookies and attacks across sub-domains that share the same root domain.

The check requires the host header to be set so if you use a reverse proxy ensure it forwards that information otherwise web sockets will be blocked.

4.10.0 - 2023-02-15

Code v1.75.1

Changed

• Updated to Code 1.75.1

Removed

• Removed --link (was deprecated over thirteen months ago in 4.0.1).

4.9.1 - 2022-12-15

Code v1.73.1

Changed

• Updated a couple steps in the build and release process to ensure we're using npm and yarn consistently depending on the step.

Fixed

• Fixed an issue with code-server version not displaying in the Help > About window.
• Fixed terminal not loading on macOS clients.

4.9.0 - 2022-12-06

Fixed

• Installing on majaro images should now work thanks to @MrPeacockNLB for adding the --noconfirm flag in install.sh

Known Issues

• --cert on Ubuntu 22.04: OpenSSL v3 is used which breaks pem meaning the --cert feature will not work. Reference

4.8.3 - 2022-11-07

Code v1.72.1

Added

• install script now supports arch-like (i.e. manjaro, endeavourous, etc.) architectures

Changed

• Updated text in the Getting Started page.

4.8.2 - 2022-11-02

Code v1.72.1

Added

• New text in the Getting Started page with info about coder/coder. This is enabled by default but can be disabled by passing the CLI flag --disable-getting-started-override or setting CS_DISABLE_GETTING_STARTED_OVERRIDE=1 or CS_DISABLE_GETTING_STARTED_OVERRIDE=true.

4.8.1 - 2022-10-28

Code v1.72.1

Fixed

• Fixed CSP error introduced in 4.8.0 that caused issues with webviews and most extensions.

4.8.0 - 2022-10-24

Code v1.72.1

Added

• Support for the Ports panel which leverages code-server's built-in proxy. It also uses VSCODE_PROXY_URI where {{port}} is replace when forwarding a port. Example: VSCODE_PROXY_URI=https://{{port}}.kyle.dev would forward an application running on localhost:3000 to https://3000.kyle.dev
• Support for --disable-workspace-trust CLI flag
• Support for --goto flag to open file @ line:column
• Added Ubuntu-based images for Docker releases. If you run into issues with PATH being overwritten in Docker please try the Ubuntu image as this is a problem in the Debian base image.

Changed

• Updated Code to 1.72.1

Fixed

• Enabled BROWSER environment variable
• Patched asExternalUri to work so now extensions run inside code-server can use it

4.7.1 - 2022-09-30

Code v1.71.2

Changed

• Updated Code to 1.71.2

Fixed

• Fixed install script not upgrading code-server when already installed on RPM-based machines
• Fixed install script failing to gain root permissions on FreeBSD

4.7.0 - 2022-09-09

Code v1.71.0

Changed

• Updated Code to 1.71.0

Removed

• Dropped heartbeat patch because it was implemented upstream

Fixed

• Add flags --unsafe-perm --legacy-peer-deps in npm-postinstall.sh which ensures installing with npm works correctly

4.6.1 - 2022-09-31

Code v1.70.2

Changed

• Updated Code to 1.70.2
• Updated argon2 to 0.29.0 which should fix issues on FreeBSD
• Updated docs to suggest using npm instead of yarn

Removed

• Dropped database migration patch affected to 4.0.2 versions and earlier.

Fixed

• Fixed preservation of process.execArgv which means you can pass --prof to profile code-server

4.6.0 - 2022-08-17

Code v1.70.1

Changed

• Updated Code to 1.70.1.

Added

• Added a heartbeat to sockets. This should prevent them from getting closed by reverse proxy timeouts when idle like NGINX's default 60-second timeout.

Fixed

• Fixed logout option appearing even when authentication is disabled.

4.5.2 - 2022-08-15

Code v1.68.1

Security

• Fixed the proxy route not performing authentication. For example if you were to run a development HTTP server using python -m http.server 8000 then it would be accessible at my.domain/proxy/8000/ without any authentication.

  If all of the following apply to you please update as soon as possible:

  • You run code-server with the built-in password authentication.
  • You run unprotected HTTP services on ports accessible by code-server.

Changed

• Invoking code-server in the integrated terminal will now use the script that comes with upstream Code. This means flags like --wait will be automatically supported now. However the upstream script only has the ability to interact with the running code-server and cannot spawn new instances. If you need to spawn a new code-server from the integrated terminal please specify the full path to code-server's usual script (for example /usr/bin/code-server).

Fixed

• Invoking code-server in the integrated terminal will now work instead of erroring about not finding Node.

4.5.1 - 2022-07-18

Code v1.68.1

Changed

• We now use release/v<0.0.0> for the release branch name so it doesn't conflict with the tag name
• Added .prettierignore to ignore formatting files in lib/vscode

Added

• Allow more comprehensive affinity config in Helm chart
• Added custom message in Homebrew PR to make sure code-server maintainers are tagged
• Allow setting priorityClassName via Helm chart
• Added troubleshooting docs to CONTRIBUTING.md

Fixed

• Removed default memory limit which was set via NODE_OPTIONS
• Changed output in pipe to make it easier to debug code-server when doing live edits
• Fixed display-language patch to use correct path which broke in 4.5.0
• Fixed multiple code-server windows opening when using the code-server CLI in the Integrated Terminal
• Fixed Integrated Terminal not working when web base was not the root path

Security

• Updated glob-parent version in dependencies

4.5.0 - 2022-06-29

Changed

• Updated codecov to use codecov uploader
• Moved integration tests to Jest
• Fixed docker release to only download .deb

4.4.0 - 2022-05-06

Code v1.66.2

Changed

• Refactored methods in Heart class and made Heart.beat() async to make testing easier.
• Upgraded to Code 1.66.2.

Added

• Added back telemetry patch which was removed in the Code reachitecture.
• Added support to use true for CS_DISABLE_FILE_DOWNLOADS environment variable. This means you can disable file downloads by setting CS_DISABLE_FILE_DOWNLOADS to true or 1.
• Added tests for Heart class.

Fixed

• Fixed installation issue in AUR after LICENSE rename.
• Fixed issue with listening on IPv6 addresses.
• Fixed issue with Docker publish action not being able to find artifacts. Now it downloads the release assets from the release.

4.3.0 - 2022-04-14

Code v1.65.2

Changed

• Excluded .deb files from release Docker image which drops the compressed and uncompressed size by 58% and 34%.
• Upgraded to Code 1.65.2.

Added

• Added a new CLI flag called --disable-file-downloads which allows you to disable the "Download..." option that shows in the UI when right-clicking on a file. This can also set by running CS_DISABLE_FILE_DOWNLOADS=1.
• Aligned the dependencies for binary and npm release artifacts.

Fixed

• Fixed the code-server version from not displaying in the Help > About dialog.
• Fixed issues with the TypeScript and JavaScript Language Features Extension failing to activate.
• Fixed missing files in ipynb extension.
• Fixed the homebrew release workflow.
• Fixed the Docker release workflow from not always publishing version tags.

4.2.0 - 2022-03-22

Code v1.64.2

Added

• Added tests for handleArgsSocketCatchError, setDefaults and optionDescriptions.

Changed

Security

• Updated to minimist-list.
• Updated cloud-agent to v0.2.4 which uses nhooyr.io/webscoket v1.8.7.

4.1.0 - 2022-03-03

Code v1.63.0

Added

• Support for injecting GitHub token into Code so extensions can make use of it. This can be done with the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable or github-auth in the config file.
• New flag --socket-mode allows setting the mode (file permissions) of the socket created when using --socket.
• The version of Code bundled with code-server now appears when using the --version flag. For example: 4.0.2 5cdfe74686aa73e023f8354a9a6014eb30caa7dd with Code 1.63.0. If you have been parsing this flag for the version you might want to use --version --json instead as doing that will be more stable.

Changed

• The workspace or folder passed on the CLI will now use the same redirect method that the last opened workspace or folder uses. This means if you use something like code-server /path/to/dir you will now get a query parameter added (like so: my-domain.tld?folder=/path/to/dir), making it easier to edit by hand and making it consistent with the last opened and menu open behaviors.
• The folder/workspace query parameter no longer has encoded slashes, making them more readable and editable by hand. This was only affecting the last opened behavior, not opens from the menu.

Fixed

• Fix web sockets not connecting when using --cert.
• Prevent workspace state collisions when opening a workspace that shares the same file path with another workspace on a different machine that shares the same domain. This was causing files opened in one workspace to be "re-"opened in the other workspace when the other workspace is opened.
• Pin the Express version which should make installing from npm work again.
• Propagate signals to code-server in the Docker image which means it should stop more quickly and gracefully.
• Fix missing argon binaries in the standalone releases on arm machines.

4.0.2 - 2022-01-27

Code v1.63.0

Fixed

• Unset the BROWSER environment variable. This fixes applications that hard exit when trying to spawn the helper script BROWSER points to because the file is missing. While we do include the script now we are leaving the variable omitted because the script does not work yet.

4.0.1 - 2022-01-04

Code v1.63.0

code-server has been rebased on upstream's newly open-sourced server implementation (#4414).

Changed

• Web socket compression has been made the default (when supported). This means the --enable flag will no longer take permessage-deflate as an option.
• The static endpoint can no longer reach outside code-server. However the vscode-remote-resource endpoint still can.
• OpenVSX has been made the default marketplace.
• The last opened folder/workspace is no longer stored separately in the settings file (we rely on the already-existing query object instead).
• The marketplace override environment variables SERVICE_URL and ITEM_URL have been replaced with a single EXTENSIONS_GALLERY variable that corresponds to extensionsGallery in Code's product.json.

Added

• VSCODE_PROXY_URI env var for use in the terminal and extensions.

Removed

• Extra extension directories have been removed. The --extra-extensions-dir and --extra-builtin-extensions-dir flags will no longer be accepted.
• The --install-source flag has been removed.

Deprecated

• --link is now deprecated (#4562).

Security

• We fixed a XSS vulnerability by escaping HTML from messages in the error page (#4430).

3.12.0 - 2021-09-15

Code v1.56.0

Changed

• Update to Code 1.56.0 (#3269).
• Minor connections refactor (#3178). Improves connection stability.
• Use ptyHostService (#3308). This brings us closer to upstream Code.

Added

• Add flag for toggling permessage-deflate (#3286). The default is off so compression will no longer be used by default. Use the --enable flag to toggle it back on.

Fixed

• Make rate limiter not count against successful logins (#3141).
• Refactor logout (#3277). This fixes logging out in some scenarios.
• Make sure directories exist (#3309). This fixes some errors on startup.
