v1.5.0

This release requires at VS Code version 1.86.0 or higher.

Enhancements

• Multiple Connections - It is now possible to have more than one connection open simultaneously. q and Python files run against the active connection, which can be chosen from the list of open connections.
• Workbooks - We have introduced Workbook files, which can be associated with a specific connection rather than just running against the active connection. These files are identified with the extension *.kdb.q (for q) or *.kdb.py (for Python) and are created in .kx directory of the current workspace folder.
  • A new WORKBOOK view displays the list of Workbooks per workspace.
• Data sources - Data sources can be associated with a specific connection rather than just running against the active connection. They are created in the .kx directory of the current workspace folder as *.kdb.json files.
  • A new DATASOURCES view displays the list of data sources per workspace.
• Data Source Editor - The data source editor visual design has been improved.
• OUTLINE - A new OUTLINE view provides support for q and quke files.
• Command Grouping - All extension commands are now grouped under the KX prefix.
• Syntax Highlighting - The syntax highlighting for q and quke files has been improved.
• Connections Icons - New status sensitive icons have been implemented for connections/
• q file icon - New icon for q files.

Fixes
