Last time I checked it worked only with 0.6.4. Compatibility with 0.7 (or 1.0) coming soon.

Very good editor indeed.

I am on Linux, and somehow setting the executable path is not accepted.  
` "julia.executablePath": "/home/xxx/Software/julia-0.7.0/bin/julia",`

VS Code complains that julia server can not be started. Can anyone tell me what can be wrong.

You can download the latest vsix file from here (beta1 works well for me)

and install it manually.

The only thing I miss is a window with a command history browser.

If you mean to stop Julia during an active session, at present you can try `Alt + j + k` in VS Code.

FWIW, you can have a window in VS Code with the REPL history by adding [this command](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/is-there-an-easy-way-to-get-at-the-history-of-repl-input/18025/23) to Julia’s `startup.jl`.

It would be fairly easy to implement a fully functional command history, in case anyone’s interested in giving it a shot 🙂
