# February 13, 2026

> Weekly changelog for February 13-21, 2026

<Update label="February 13, 2026">
  ## Highlights

  This week focused on polishing the developer experience in VS Code and making device workflows more reliable and discoverable. Improvements to message handling, command parity, and serial monitor interactions help you work faster and keep context when switching between editor and device tasks.

  ## New features

  ### Serial monitor and device workflows

  Serial monitor output streams inline with tool calls and the UI has been simplified for clearer device interaction, including a sensible maximum of serial tabs and updated naming so you can manage monitors more easily. [Bash](/core-concepts/common-workflows#bash-mode) (`!`) and [serial](/core-concepts/common-workflows#serial-send-mode) (`~`) input modes are now available from the Embedder console, letting you quickly switch between and send bash and serial commands.
