Problem Statement
Can't tell what was fixed, changed or added before installing updates.
Leaving Users in the dark, feeling like they're gambling when selecting to update extension. Users potentially risking being blocked from getting their stuff done.
Documenting what changed helps Users mentally be aware/alert for unexpected behavior in recently churned extension code/features.
Proposed Solution
- Provide release notes for each version. Write up fixes and new info/features. Follow VS Code release notes for a good example.
- Also...
- Consider sharing source code for the extension.
- Fix size of pop-up messages for choosing actions. Make them resizable, or cap their size to sane percentage of available space.
- ~~Prompts should be editable and forkable (like github copilot chat sessions).~~ (EDIT: I just discovered the "rewind" button)
Alternative Solutions
Support Claude Subscription being usage from within github copilot chat harness.
