VSCode not updated

Hello, is there any reason why VSCode hasn't been updated?

Looking at the void-packages repository, the current version is 1.100.3, while the latest version of VSCode is 1.135.0.

I presume because nobody felt the need. Have a look at CONTRIBUTING.md to see how you yourself can provide a new version. I've done it quite often for google-chrome for instance, in which case it's generally nothing more than update a version number and a sha hash. Make sure you follow the correct PR name convention. Here's an example

Succes.

Perfect! If the project isn't moving forward fast enough for you, get off your hind-end, get to work, and contribute what is lacking yourself! Was that too brash? In the words of the great Jedi master Yoda, "Offended you are?” “A sh!t I do not give!”

Maybe it's a case of, “If it isn't broken, don't fix it.” IDK...
