GitHub Copilot in VS Code shipped four weekly stable releases (v1.116–v1.119) throughout April and early May 2026. Key additions include semantic search across any workspace, a grep-style GitHub repo/org search tool, and an experimental /chronicle feature that lets you query your own chat history. Token usage is reduced via smarter prompt caching and deferred tool loading. Agents now show inline diffs in chat, can read/write to open terminals, and share live browser tabs as context. Bring-your-own-key support expands to Copilot Business and Enterprise, allowing teams to connect OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, and local models like Ollama. Copilot CLI sessions can be monitored and steered remotely from GitHub.com or the mobile app, and agent debug logs now persist across sessions.
