[ANN] VS Code extension 1.2 released

Hey everyone, we just released version 1.2 of the Julia extension for VS Code, which brings a bunch of new features, most importantly a new plot navigator, integration for persistent tmux processes, many notable changes to static code analysis, and a new debugger UI that allows you to switch between compiled and interpreted mode on a per-function basis. Check out the full changelog here. As always, feel free to post issues over at the julia-vscode repo and enable crash reporting if possible…
