Where is VSCode 1.70.3?


This page mentions VSCode 1.70.3 is the last release supporting Windows 7.

There's no download for that version listed at uptodown, and there's no tag for it in the github repository.

Where I can I download that version? What changed in it compared to 1.70.2 (e.g. this answer hints possibly something about PID in debug windows?), and where can I download the source code?


Solution

  • It turns out I’m not the only one curious about this.

    Firstly, my guess is that VSCode @1.70.3 is a version exclusive to Windows 7. It adds a “stop updating” notification and no longer automatically checks for new versions, so we can’t get it through normal channels.

    In other words, only when installing a version lower than 1.70.2 on Windows 7 will it automatically upgrade to 1.70.3, but that’s not what we want because it’s not an installation package. However, this also allowed me to obtain some version information, so we have the official download link.
