This is due tomorrow (June 10). Sorry for the short notice, I will plan to get
this out sooner for future reports. Please comment and/or add new material as
needed. I'm less familiar with the ongoings of the VS Code project, so please
let me know if there is anything to report (e.g. planned releases, important
features completed, etc).
