+Use `#extensions` tool to find extensions from the Marketplace. This tool is available in both chat and agent mode and is picked up automatically but you can also reference it explicitly via `#extensions` with your query.

+### Mandatory extension signature verification
+
+Extension signature verification is now required on all platforms - Windows, MacOS, and Linux. Previously, this verification was only mandatory on Windows and MacOS. With this release, Linux now also enforces extension signature verification, ensuring that all extensions are properly validated before installation. This change further strengthens security by preventing the installation of potentially malicious extensions. For more details, see the [Extension Signing](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/configure/extensions/extension-marketplace#_the-extension-signature-cannot-be-verified-by-vs-code).
+
+### Learn more links for malicious extensions
+
+When an extension is identified as malicious, VS Code now provides links to additional information explaining why the extension was flagged. These "Learn More" links connect users to GitHub issues or documentation with details about the security concerns, helping users better understand the potential risks.
+
+### Prevent installation of Copilot chat pre-release versions in VS Code stable
+
+VS Code now prevents the installation of Copilot chat pre-release version in VS Code stable. This helps avoid situations where users inadvertently install the Copilot chat pre-release version and gets stuck in a broken state. This means you can only install the Copilot chat pre-release version in the Insiders build of VS Code.

 ## Code Editing
 
+### NES Import Suggestions
+
+Next Edit Suggestions (NES) can now automatically suggest adding missing import statements in JavaScript and TypeScript files. Enable this feature by setting `setting(github.copilot.nextEditSuggestions.fixes:true)`. We plan to further enhance this capability by supporting imports from additional languages in future updates.
