v1.103 of VS Code is here! Check out what's new: 🚀 GPT-5 support: Starting today, GPT-5 is rolling out to all paid GitHub Copilot plans. GPT-5 is OpenAI's most capable model yet, bringing new advances in reasoning, coding, and chat. 🛠️ 128+ tools with virtual tool grouping (experimental): the model now auto-manages tool groups when limits are exceeded, unlocking massive productivity gains for complex MCP workflows. ✅ Chat checkpoints: create restore points in chat sessions to revert workspace changes and revisit specific conversation states. Perfect for multi-file editing and fearless experimentation. 🌲 Git worktree support: check out multiple branches simultaneously, making it easy to test changes or work in parallel without switching contexts 🔧 Terminal tools refactor: Fixed common issues like terminal hangs, with better output polling and task awareness for reliable AI assistance. 🤖 Copilot coding agent integration: enhanced session management with dedicated views, PR cards in chat, and seamless workflow integration. Track progress and manage conversations without leaving chat. 🔎 Read the full release notes: https://lnkd.in/gc3KgR66 Happy coding! 💙
