We're pleased to announce the release of the Rocket® MV BASIC for Visual Studio Code (MVVS) v2.1.0 with a preview of the new Online Editing feature!

Rocket MV BASIC for VS Code (MVVS) offers features to help your developers modernize, simplify, and work more productively in one of the most popular development environments, Microsoft Visual Studio Code (VS Code).

MV BASIC for VS Code Online Editing MVP

Using the MVVS v2.1.0 extension, you can now view and edit program files on your local machine OR remotely on a Rocket® UniVerse or Rocket® UniData® server with the new Online Editing feature.  We consider the 2.1.0 Online Editing feature to be an MVP* (Minimal Viable Product) and we'll continue to enhance the feature to include more MVVS operations over a series of releases. 

·       *The MVP of Online Editing supports most LSP (Language Server Protocol) features when the extension is connected to a UniData or UniVerse server; however, this preview has some limitations:

o   Features like Go to Definition, Rename, and Find References may not be able to locate references or definitions in other files

o   Compilation, debugging and customer documentation functionalities are currently not supported

o   Only one instance of VS Code per desktop can be connected to a server at a time

For information on configuration, use, and synchronization of the MVP Online Editing feature please refer to the documentation included with the extension.

·       MVVS 2.1.0 Enhancements:

o   We've added the UniData flavors "Pick" and "UniBasic" separately to right-click compilation when compiling BASIC program files

·       MVVS 2.1.0 Fixes:

o   12 bug fixes including:

§  RPC failure on password when connecting to a UniData or UniVerse server requires VS Code extension restart

§  VS Code settings will be overwritten when extension is activated
