 ### Fixes
 
 1. Improvements to the display format of interpreter information in the list of interpreters.
    ([#1352](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/issues/1352))
 1. Deprecate the use of the setting `python.autoComplete.preloadModules`. Recommendation is to utilize the new language server (change the setting `"python.jediEnabled": false`).
    ([#1704](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/issues/1704))
-1. Add a new `"python.condaPath"` setting to use if conda is not found on `PATH`.
+1. Add a new `python.condaPath` setting to use if conda is not found on `PATH`.

 1. Ensure code is executed when the last line of selected code is indented.
    ([#2167](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/issues/2167))
 1. Stop duplicate initializations of the Python Language Server's progress reporter.
    ([#2297](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/issues/2297))
-1. Fix the regex expression to match MyPy linter messages that expects the file name to have a .py extension, that isn't always the case, to catch any filename.
+1. Fix the regex expression to match MyPy linter messages that expects the file name to have a `.py` extension, that isn't always the case, to catch any filename.
    E.g., .pyi files that describes interfaces wouldn't get the linter messages to Problems tab.
    ([#2380](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/issues/2380))
+1. Do not use variable substitution when updating `python.pythonPath`.  This matters
+   because VS Code does not do variable substitution in settings values.
+   ([#2459](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/issues/2459))
 1. Use a python script to launch the debugger, instead of using `-m` which requires changes to the `PYTHONPATH` variable.
    ([#2509](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-python/issues/2509))
 1. Provide paths from `PYTHONPATH` environment variable to the language server, as additional search locations of Python modules.

 1. Use the environment folder name for environments without environment names in the Conda Environments list file.

 ### Code Health
 
 1. Fix broken CI on Azure DevOps.

 1. Upgraded our version of `request` to `2.87.0`.
