What's New

Auto-Update Helper Binary

The extension now automatically checks for newer versions of the PyPilot helper binary on every activation:

  • Compares the local helper version against the latest GitHub release
  • Prompts with Update now, Release notes, or Later options
  • 24-hour snooze after dismissing, so it won't nag on every VS Code launch
  • Updates managed binaries in-place; leaves your PATH install untouched
  • After updating, offers to reload the window so the LSP picks up the new binary

Smarter Binary Resolution

  • If both a PATH binary and a managed (downloaded) binary exist, the extension now picks the newer one instead of always preferring PATH
  • Ensures an auto-updated managed binary gets used even when an older binary sits on PATH

New Command

  • PyPilot: Check for Helper Updates manually triggers the update check from the command palette (bypasses the snooze timer)
