1.2.0
Instructions
To use the "offline" .vsix (that doesn't download OS-based dependencies on extension activation), download the .vsix that matches your OS and run the "Install from VSIX" command in VS Code (don't double-click the .vsix or another app like VS might try to open it incorrectly).
Requirements
- VS Code 1.52.0 or later.
