Since they upgraded their glibc requirements for remote servers from 2.26 to 2.28, I can't use it to work on important legacy servers. So I am stuck with a version 6 months old. I wish I could've used the newer version

They rolled it back, and delayed the hard requirement to next year.

Really? I need to go check it out. You got a source by chance?

I posted about it in this community, it's got a link to the github comment regarding the matter.

After a quick skim, my favs:

Inline completions for multiple cursors

and Command duration tracked.

I wonder, for people that don't have copilot, these updates must feel pretty barren

Confirmed! I found them a little barren
