  • Fix a bug with incorrect configuration of a file when using a custom configuration provider and no custom configuration is available for that file. This now falls back to the compiler info received from the configuration provider with the browse configuration.
  • Fix a bug in which making a modification to c_cpp_properties.json could result in custom configurations for currently open files being discarded and not re-requested.

Potentially Breaking Changes

  • Settings commentContinuationPatterns, enhancedColorization, and codeFolding are no longer available in per-Folder settings (only Workspace or higher settings). PR #5830
  • Fix compile command arguments not being used when compilerPath is set (so the compile command arguments need to be compatible now).
  • If a non-matching intelliSenseMode was being used, such as clang-x64 with a gcc ARM compiler, then we may auto-fix it internally, which may cause changes to IntelliSense behavior.

Known Issues

  • Using clang-format on ARM may require installing libtinfo5. #5958
