    🛠 Fixes

    💅 1. Replaced occurrences of pep8 with pycodestyle. All mentions of pep8 have been replaced with pycodestyle. Add script to replace outdated settings with the new ones in user settings.json - python.linting.pep8Args -> python.linting.pycodestyleArgs - python.linting.pep8CategorySeverity.E -> python.linting.pycodestyleCategorySeverity.E - python.linting.pep8CategorySeverity.W -> python.linting.pycodestyleCategorySeverity.W - python.linting.pep8Enabled -> python.linting.pycodestyleEnabled - python.linting.pep8Path -> python.linting.pycodestylePath - (thanks Marsfan) (#410) ✅ 1. Do not change foreground colors in test statusbar. (#4387)

    1. Set the __file__ variable whenever running code so that __file__ usage works in the interactive window. (#5459) 🏁 1. Ensure Windows Store install of Python is displayed in the statusbar. (#5926)
    2. Fix loging for determining python path from workspace of active text editor (thanks Eric Bajumpaa (@SteelPhase)). (#6282)
    3. Changed the way scrolling is treated. Now we only check for the position of the scroll, the size of the cell won't matter. Still the interactive window will snap to the bottom if you already are at the bottom, and will stay in place if you are not. Like a chat window. Tested to work with:
      • regular code
      • dataframes
      • big and regular plots Turned the check of the scroll at the bottom from checking equal to checking a range to make it work with fractions. (#6580)
    4. Changed the name of the setting 'Run Magic Commands' to 'Run Startup Commands' to avoid confusion. (#6842)
    5. Fix the debugger being installed even when available from the VSCode install. (#6907) 🛠 1. Fixes to detection of shell. (#6928)
    6. Delete the old session immediately after session restart instead of on close. (#6975) ✅ 1. Add support for the new JUnit XML format used by pytest 5.1+. (#6990) 🔒 1. Set a content security policy on webviews. (#7007) ✅ 1. Fix regression to allow connection to servers with no token and no password and add functional test for this scenario. (#7137)
    7. Resolve variables such as ${workspaceFolder} in the envFile setting of launch.json. (#7210) ✅ 1. Fixed A/B testing sampling. (#7218)
    8. Added commands for 'dd', 'ctrl + enter', 'alt + enter', 'a', 'b', 'j', 'k' in the native Editor to behave just like JupyterLabs. (#7229) 👍 1. Add support for CTRL+S when the native editor has input focus (best we can do without true editor support) Also fix issue with opening two or more not gaining focus correctly. (#7238)
    9. Fix monaco editor layout perf. (#7241)
    10. Fix 'history' in the input box for the interactive window to work again. Up arrow and down arrow should now scroll through the things already typed in. (#7253)
    11. Fix plot viewer to allow exporting again. (#7257)
    12. Make ipynb files auto save on shutting down VS code as our least bad option at the moment. (#7258) ⚡️ 1. Update icons to newer look. (#7261)
    13. The native editor will now wrap all its content instead of showing a horizontal scrollbar. (#7272) 🗄 1. Deprecate the 'runMagicCommands' datascience setting. (#7294) 💅 1. Fix white icon background and finish update all icons to new style. (#7302) 🔧 1. Fixes to display Python specific debug configurations in launch.json. (#7304) 🛠 1. Fixed intellisense support on the native editor. (#7316)
    14. Fix double opening an ipynb file to still use the native editor. (#7318)
    15. 'j' and 'k' were reversed for navigating through the native editor. (#7330)
    16. 'a' keyboard shortcut doesn't add a cell above if current cell is the first. (#7334)

    18. Runtime errors cause the run button to disappear. (#7370)
    19. Surface jupyter notebook search errors to the user. (#7392)
    20. Allow cells to be re-executed on second open of an ipynb file. (#7417)
    21. Implement dirty file tracking for notebooks so that on reopening of VS code they are shown in the dirty state. Canceling the save will get them back to their on disk state. (#7418)
    22. Make ipynb files change to dirty when moving/deleting/changing cells. (#7439)
    23. Initial collapse / expand state broken by native liveshare work / gather. (#7445) 🚚 1. Converting a native markdown cell to code removes the markdown source. (#7446)

    31. Fix for changing a file in the status bar to a notebook/jupyter file to open the new native notebook editor. (#7521) 🚚 1. Running a cell by clicking the mouse should behave like shift+enter and move to the next cell (or add one to the bottom). (#7522)
    32. Output color makes a text only notebook with a lot of cells hard to read. Change output color to be the same as the background like Jupyter does. (#7526)
    33. Fix data viewer sometimes showing no data at all (especially on small datasets). (#7530)
    34. First run of run all cells doesn't run the first cell first. (#7558)
    35. Saving an untitled notebook editor doesn't change the tab to have the new file name. (#7561)
