Highlights
This week focused on smoother, more responsive developer workflows across the VS Code extension, CLI, and hardware tooling. You will notice snappier chat interactions, clearer subscription and project UX, and improved debugging and device capture features that make everyday tasks faster and more reliable.New features
Debugging and hardware tooling
You can rely on a more robust debug experience: GDB lifecycles are now serialized and include hard-cleanup paths to avoid stuck sessions, and no-halt sessions gain explicit reset-halt handling for J-Link and OpenOCD. Hardware workflows also gained new visualization and capture features, including power plots for PPK2 devices and Joulescope support plus CSV export, making measurement inspection and sharing easier.Agent workflows and integrations
Agent Teams v0 is available as a first-class execution path with structured plans, deterministic launches, and runtime snapshots, so multi-agent scenarios run more predictably. You can also run the daemon in the background and manage its lifecycle from the CLI, and Slack now supports explicit agent request routing and a convenience /release-notes command to open the release hub.Miscellaneous
