[Announcement] LLDB-DAP VS Code Extension Now Publishes Nightly Pre-releases

I’m excited to announce that we now publish nightly pre-releases of the LLDB-DAP Visual Studio Code extension.

Pre-releases are published daily at 10 a.m. PST and can be recognized by their version number, consisting of an odd minor version and a patch version representing the date it was built. For example, today’s pre-release (published on September 25, 2025) is versioned as 0.3.20250925. Going forward, all stable releases will use an even minor version.

Please consider enabling pre-releases to help us catch issues before they reach the stable release. To do so, open the Extensions view in VS Code and search for “LLDB-DAP”. Click on the extension, then click the “Switch to Pre-Release Version” button. You can switch back to the stable version at any time using the same menu.

Please file an issue for any problems you encounter and attach the lldb-dap tag.

Thank you for helping us improve the LLDB-DAP extension!

Jonas


This improvement was tracked by Improvement: Publish pre-release version of lldb-dap extension for vscode · Issue #160233 · llvm/llvm-project · GitHub and prioritized after we shipped version 0.2.17 with a regression yesterday. With the new pre-releases, we have an opportunity to catch these issues before they reach our broader user base.
