Release Notes

This release changes the installation location of the extension in Visual Studio 2017 to a fixed place in [VS Installation Directory]\Common7\IDE\Extensions\GitHub instead of letting the installer generate a random directory. This will make it less likely that multiple installations of the extension get loaded erroneously by VS.

Note to VS 2017 v15.3 users

Unrelated to this hotfix, the Visual Studio 2017 15.3 installer has a bug that causes a corruption of the installed extensions data when you revert an installation of the extension (see also this MS issue).

Until VS 2017 15.4 comes out, avoid reverting extensions via Extensions and Updates. Steps for fixing the corrupted installation cache are in #1206
