This plan captures our work in November. This is a 5-week iteration. We will ship our November Update in early December.

Last month we focussed on getting our issue database back in shape and we made great progress. As this included bug fixing and debt work, unlike in other months, we'll start with feature work right away and skip our typical debt week. Unsurprisingly, November is densely packed with feature work all across VS Code. It stretched from addressing paper cuts all the way to big-rock items such as settings sync and more flexible workbench layout. You also see a new Web section. With the public availability of Visual Studio Online you can now use VS Code also in the browser and we'll surface any related future work on our iteration plans.
