title: VSCode + JassDoc + Performance Update

11+
Today's release focuses on developer workflow and reliability.
12+
13+
## Better VSCode Workflow
14+
15+
We expanded VSCode integration to reduce context switching and make the day-to-day edit/build/test loop smoother. More project actions are now available directly in the editor workflow, so common tasks need fewer manual steps and less setup friction.
16+
17+
Rich highlight support via inlay hints was also improved, making important type and code-flow details visible directly while editing.
18+
19+
![](/assets/images/news/run-btn.webp){: .img-responsive}
20+
21+
The overall goal was to keep focus in one place: write code, run, iterate, and inspect results without jumping between tools.
22+
23+
## JassDoc for Natives
24+
25+
We integrated [JassDoc](https://github.com/lep/jassdoc), a cool community project, directly into the tooling.
26+
27+
If JassDoc is available for a native, or if a function is a pure wrapper around that native, the JassDoc entry is shown in documentation info. This gives faster context while coding and reduces the need to search external references.
28+
29+
## Faster Builds and Fixes
30+
31+
This update includes targeted performance work across the compiler/toolchain plus a broad set of bug fixes. The optimization focus is on keeping compile times lower for real projects and reducing overhead in repeated build cycles.
32+
33+
Alongside speedups, we addressed reliability issues to make diagnostics and generated output more predictable.
