Pre release Build

GitHub Pull Requests and Issues uses VS Code's built in pre-release extension support for regular pre-release build.

To use the pre-release build

1. Open the Extensions view.
2. Search for GitHub Pull Requests and Issues in the Extensions view
3. If you haven't installed the extension yet, you can jump straight to installing the pre-release extension using the drop down menu next to the install button. If you already have the extension installed, you can right-click on the extension and "Switch to pre-release".

Pre-release versioning

Someday, when all the moving parts involved support it, the pre-release extension will use semver. Until that day, odd minor versions indicate a pre-release version, starting with version 0.33.*. New pre-release builds are usually released once per day, Monday through Thursday. If there is a specific fix that we want to get out or let users try, they may be other pre-release builds.

Why use the pre-release build?

The pre-release build is great if you want to help make this extension better. It's the first place to try to features and fixes and provide feedback on them.
