Status of this extension #1027
Description
Hello all, Since there is not good way to distribute this kind of info, I am just using the Issue system. I know people are worried about the activity (or lack thereof) on this extension. Here is what is going on
- I have moved/relocated 2400 miles back in Dec 2023.
- But soon after, in Mar 2024, I became very ill and got hospitalized several times. I am doing better but staring at a long recovery ahead -- maybe several more months.
- I have been looking at every issue that shows up. But, most issues are either not urgent (IMHO) or are things users should solve for themselves. So many people don’t read our Wiki and other documents I am not able to do much hand-holding like I used to. I know some users pitch in to help others, but we need more volunteers.
- Please note that we rely on GDB and gdb-servers a LOT, so being able to debug those and read their output can really help out. If you see a message that GDB is crashing, then, some investigation is warranted.
- Please report real issues after you have done your due diligence to convince yourself
Thanks in advance for your understanding. I will have my family post something here if things turn worse and/or unable to support this extension due to other reasons.
@PhilippHaefele thanks you for your help. I wish there were more of you

I will be making a release shortly where I can test the PR/change in my limited HW/SW setup or consider it safe to do otherwise.

First of all thank you very much for your update
Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
Thanks for that. Trying to do my best in my limited time

@haneefdm, thanks for your work on this project! Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.
Is there a forum for users to help each other? (e.g. with existing features, howto, etc.) Other than GitHub issues on this repo, where you'd presumably want to reduce that?
If not, [EDIT: what do you think of creating] one? Possibly here, using GitHub Discussions?

WRT my preceding forum suggestion, I imagine a place where I could make a post, "is there a way to do X?" Possible replies:

I am back (partially). Made a pre-release of some pending bug fixes and new functionality contributed by others.
I will look into GitHub Discussions
https://github.com/Marus/cortex-debug/releases
What we push to the marketplace next will be a pre-release version 1.13.x. I will have far too many changes to call it a patch release of 1.12.x
Thank you all for being patient.

If I am understanding correctly, there should be a pre-release version to install. Is that correct? I am not seeing any way to install pre-releases.
diggit commentedon Mar 12, 2026
@nabelekt I do it this way:
nabelekt commentedon Mar 12, 2026
Thanks. I did try that, but the latest I see in the list is
1.12.1 2 yrs ago (current). So, I thought maybe there was a1.13pre-release version mentioned above that I was missing. Maybe that was never created? Occasionally, I have gotten prompted by VS Code with an option to install pre-release versions for other extensions, but haven't seen that for Cortex-Debug.diggit commentedon Mar 12, 2026
Ok, maybe I can see it there, because I,ve installed it manually from vsix, I can't remember. Anyway, you can follow instruction at the (pre-)release page https://github.com/Marus/cortex-debug/releases
