Endgame Plan for release 1.60

[rschnekenbu]

Endgame issue for the 1.60 release.

We made a change (migration from PhosphorJS to Lumino) that will be release with Theia 1.60. This change may have some impacts on the tool (see #14320 ). A beta version would allow early testing for developers and early testers.

Pre-release 1.60 (03/20/2025?) (available)
Blocking:

• fix: autocomplete content in chat view #15240
• Migrate from PhosphorJS to Lumino #14320

Nice to have:

• Support prompt fragments and variable dependencies with recursive resolving #15196

Release 1.60 (04/03/2025)
Blocking:

• Tabs overflow from main area #15254
• Prerequisites need to be updated #15139, fix: Pin node-abi version to 3.x due to Node.js 22+ requirement in 4.x #15212
• @theia/playwright package doesn't contain compiled modules, only sources #15077
• Anthropic invocations without tools fail #15327
• Editor navigation is unreliable #15145
• Setting: expand category/section with long sub-categories list shrinks the whole Theia page app length --> no main menu #15248
• [vscode] API gap: Theia master vs. VS Code 1.98 #15137
• Multiple scrollbars on search widget #15271
• Toolbar actions are sometimes not right-aligned #15296
• Turn automatic inline code completion off by default #15333
• Code spell checker extension crashes extension host #15348

After Release

• Update to Theia 1.60 (Lumino) generator-theia-extension#242

Nice to have

• getFileDiagnostics does not complete #15299
• Tabbar icons overflow #15274
• Refine coder prompt #15358
• Monaco breadcrumbs do not show up #15273
• Theia repo uses perfect-scrollbar 1.5.6 #15277
• fix: communication recording in Orchestrator #15328
• [vsode] Support command workbench.extensions.command.installFromVSIX #15179
• feat: centralize LLM communication tracking in chat model #15146
• Vertical Scrollbar on Tab Bars #15232
• add native gemini provider #15334

Not sure how others feel about it, but personally, I would hold up the release for #15145. It's super-annyoing!

[JonasHelming]

@sgraband @tsmaeder FYI, added #15240 as blocker for the pre-release

[rschnekenbu]

Moved out #15205. No emergency to merge this PR onto the next release, and there are higher prio items on the list.

[tsmaeder]

@rschnekenbu 👍 on this one: merging a 30 file change when we're trying to stabilize is not a winner move ;-)

[rschnekenbu]

As announced in discussion #15381, release 1.60 was done. Closing this endgame task.

[JonasHelming]

@rschnekenbu Can you move out the non closed items?

[rschnekenbu]

@JonasHelming, I can move them to a new ticket for release plan 1.61. WDYT?

[JonasHelming]

Yes, or IDE epic, depending on the plan

[rschnekenbu]

I missed the post-release action, so I reopened the task.
All other tasks are part of the Theia IDE Epic #13192

[JonasHelming]

Aftermath is done...
