  • rust-analyzer changelog #139

    You can follow https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/issues/11080 for news. Publishing to OpenVSX has been implemented on the RA side for 27 days, but it fails because of a server-side problem. https://github.com/EclipseFdn/open-vsx.org/pull/1094 (which took 24 days to merge) was supposed to fix it, but it might have been rolled back and I don't think it worked for RA anyway.

  • FLOSS version of VSCode and the extensions gallery
    7 projects | /r/vscode | 6 Jan 2021
    I just wanted to highlight that Open VSX is not an issue, and is not inferior to the Visual Studio Marketplace (as some people are led to believe when they find missing extensions), but rather an awesome project providing a vendor-neutral FLOSS extension registry. The real "issue" to be solved is getting more users and extension authors aboard the train, to fill Open VSX with more extensions and one day make it on-par with the Visual Studio Marketplace. Just the other week, GitHub (a Microsoft owned company!) decided to become a verified publisher on Open VSX, so I have high hopes that we'll get there.
