nRF Connect for VS Code

The extension's performance gradually degrades as we add new features, and we have spent some time resolving some bottlenecks for this release. As a result, the extension activation time has been reduced by an order of magnitude for some workspaces.

In particular, the following actions are now faster and more scalable:

  • SDK discovery
  • Board indexing
  • Build configuration indexing
  • Devicetree type listing
  • Devicetree parsing
  • Sidebar rendering
