This plan captures our work in August. This is a 4-week iteration. We will ship our August Update in early September. August is the second of our two Summer iterations. Those of us who didn't take time off earlier are doing so now.

Nevertheless, work will be done. We'll move the new settings experience out of preview and we'll publish a preview of the GitHub pull request extension. We'll also continue improving the accessibility of VS Code (keyboard navigation and screen reader support).

Endgame

• August 27th, 2018: Code freeze for the endgame
