13 | | -As we continue to invest in Swift as a first-class language for cross-platform development, both Apple and the broader developer community are rapidly iterating on the VSCode extension to expand its capabilities for server and cloud, embedded, and Linux and Windows app development. The original extension was developed by members of the Swift Server Working Group, and with its broader scope, they have graciously supported this transition to the GitHub /swiftlang organization and the creation of a new publisher for the extension. |

15 | | -For existing Swift developers using VSCode, the transition should be seamless: the old release should automatically install the new extension and disable itself, and moving forward all language features will be provided by the new extension. You’re welcome to uninstall the original extension, which will be renamed to reflect its deprecated status. |
