Pull request overview

This PR adds release notes for the January 2026 release of Positron (version 2026.01), replacing the previous draft notes for 2025.12.0 and its patch releases. The release includes three major highlights: a new History Pane, improvements to Positron Assistant, and experimental Dev Container support.

  • New History Pane feature for tracking and searching Console inputs by language
  • Positron Assistant improvements including native Copilot engine, custom agent files, and refined tools
  • Experimental Dev Container support for building and opening workspaces in containers
