On February 5th, 2025, Dependabot will end support for Python version 3.8, which has reached its end-of-life. If you continue to use Python version 3.8, there’s a risk that Dependabot will not create pull requests to update dependencies. To prevent this from happening, please update to a supported release of Python. As of January 2025, the latest supported release of Python is version 3.13. View Python’s official documentation for more information about supported releases.
Copilot Workspace Changelog (January 6, 2025)
Happy New Year! We’ve got fresh Copilot Workspace updates for you this week, so let’s jump right in!
Copilot Workspace
Adding new files from file tree
You can now add a new file directly to the file tree, rather than having to modify the plan.
Error toggling
We’ve enabled an option to toggle errors on and off within your editor. This will allow you to hide errors when you’re not actively working on them.
Improved codespace creation
Now when you create a codespace, your codespace will be created in the region closest to you. This will improve the latency of your connection, providing a smoother experience while editing and using the terminal.
Copilot Workspace for pull requests
Accessibility improvements
Screen readers will now announce when suggestions are applied.
Bug fixes
Fixed a design regression where there was no border between the editor and the file.
Providing feedback
Please give feedback in our GitHub Discussion. We appreciate any and all feedback you have!
Starting January 6, 2025 GitHub-Hosted macOS runner images will be replacing Xcode 16.0 with Xcode 16.2. This change applies to both macOS-14 Intel and ARM64 based runner images. If you rely on Xcode 16.0, upgrade to Xcode 16.1 in order to maintain service continuity in your Actions workflows.
Our support policy for macOS-14 is:
– Xcode 15: All minor releases with the full platform tools suite.
– Xcode 16: Two minor releases (excluding visionOS tools), following a “last two” principle where the oldest version is replaced by the latest as updates are released. Beta versions are not included.
