Chapter 3. Bug fixes

Before this update, webviews in Microsoft Visual Studio Code - Open Source did not render correctly in restricted environments. This issue occurred because the browser could not download static resources from the public Internet behind a proxy. With this update, the OpenShift Dev Spaces build of Microsoft Visual Studio Code - Open Source serves those resources directly from its server, which is usually accessible through proxies.

Before this update, as a result of a bug, Bitbucket Server access tokens were not detected as Kubernetes Secrets. The editor in the workspace did not detect an access token for Bitbucket Server. With this update, individual users can resume using Bitbucket Server access tokens as Kubernetes Secrets.

Before this update, new workspaces using a raw link to a devfile hosted by GitLab or Bitbucket could fail to start with the following error message: "Internal Server Error occurred". With this update, the issue is solved.

Before this update, workspaces failed to start when a Kubernetes component in the devfile used the uri field and regardless of the value of deployByDefault. As a result, some of the samples in the Developer view of the OpenShift web console failed to load in OpenShift Dev Spaces. With this update, Kubernetes components that have the deployByDefault field set to false are ignored in devfiles when a workspace starts.

Before this update, for Git repositories that are hosted by Microsoft Azure DevOps, new workspaces might fail to start due to a Workspace does not exist error. With this update, the issue is resolved.

Before this update, developers could experience a delay between typing and the characters appearing in the Microsoft Visual Studio Code - Open Source embedded terminal. With this update, the default GPU acceleration is changed to canvas which solves the issue.
