The [Download Julia](http://julialang.org/downloads) page says the latest current release is v1.8.2, and the description begins by saying “Almost everyone should be downloading and using the latest stable release of Julia.” Sounds good.

**How do I upgrade to v1.8.2 in VS Code?** Currently, VS Code says my Julia version is v1.7.12, which it says is the current release, and the only other options I can change to are older versions.

So that’s the version of Julia extension for VSCode.  
You can update Julia either by downloading the binaries from Julia website yourself or using [juliaup](https://github.com/JuliaLang/juliaup).
