VSCodium 1.135.06055 Lands With VS Code 1.135, Restores ARM32, and Ships 164 Build Assets
VSCodium has released its latest stable build, 1.135.06055. The new package pulls in the full VS Code 1.135 codebase, brings AI agent workflows to the open-source fork, and expands platform support to eight CPU architectures.
If you've been watching the editor space, you know this release carries forward VSCodium's exact promise: free binaries, stripped telemetry, MIT license compliance, and zero Microsoft branding. The upstream VS Code 1.135 update dropped back in late August, and maintainer Baptiste "daiyam" Augrain moved quickly to port the changes. "We're keeping the build pipeline strict and the telemetry stripped, no matter what Microsoft ships upstream," Augrain noted in the signed release commit.
Agent Workflows Take Center Stage
The big shift in this build is how deeply VS Code now leans into AI. External agent sessions let you pick up a Copilot or Claude conversation from another app right inside the editor. You can also invoke a new experimental slash command that runs a secondary model to catch edge cases the primary agent missed. The chat response footer now breaks down token usage per model, which is a smart move for anyone tracking API costs. Microsoft calls the underlying architecture an "agent host," and it basically lets multiple VS Code windows talk to the same AI session simultaneously.
VSCodium inherits all of this out of the box. You get the same AI pipeline without Microsoft's telemetry hooks tugging at the seams. Keep in mind that Copilot still requires a paid subscription, and the stripped telemetry means Microsoft account linking might behave a bit differently than it does in the official build. VSCodium's stance on auto-updates has been one of the most consistent policies in its history. The project deliberately disables them to keep everything MIT compliant, a choice that draws complaints from users who prefer the stock editor's hands-off experience. This build holds that line firmly.
One of the Largest Release Sets Yet
The package list for this tag is unusually broad. We're looking at 164 release assets spanning x64, ARM64, ARM32, PowerPC 64-bit LE, RISC-V 64-bit, LoongArch 64-bit, and s390x. Windows and macOS both get x64 and ARM64 support, while Linux gets the same plus PowerPC 64-bit LE, RISC-V 64-bit, LoongArch 64-bit, and s390x. Head here to check the exact download matrix if you're running something niche.
The most notable hardware shift is the return of 32-bit ARM builds for Linux. They were dropped in a previous release, but they're back this time around, complete with .deb, .rpm, .tar.gz, and remote host tarballs. That's a solid signal for anyone keeping older Raspberry Pi or embedded hardware running. The build pipeline itself got a serious tune-up, swapping Node.js v24 in, replacing old memory limit flags with custom caps, and fixing container restrictions that broke AppImage publishing.
Four first-time contributors landed meaningful patches in this cycle. One fixed an inverted guard that was causing ASAR handling issues on macOS sandboxing. Another pushed a unified "anylinux-appimage" build that works across distros including Alpine. A third preserved the update-disable patch for enterprise deployments, and the fourth cleaned up EditorConfig violations across the codebase. The project's contributor roster proves it's still attracting fresh hands.
It's arguably the most polished VSCodium release in terms of platform breadth. The AI features are a double-edged sword, though. You're getting the exact same agent workflows Microsoft ships, which is great for feature parity, but it also means the editor is now more tightly coupled to cloud APIs than ever. If you're running this in a locked-down government or enterprise environment, the preserved update-disable patch and the option to ship MSIs without auto-updates will feel welcome. However, at the same time, the heavy reliance on remote models means offline usage will still feel noticeably restricted.
You can grab the release assets directly from the GitHub repository, which also hosts the full changelog and build instructions. If you need the ARM32 binaries for an older board, the Linux tarballs are in the standard download section. Updates remain disabled by default to keep things MIT compliant, so you'll want to check open-vsx.org if you're hunting for extensions that don't live in Microsoft's marketplace. Keep an eye on the repository's release page for any follow-up patches, since the CI team flagged ongoing work on container memory limits that could land in a minor bump before long.
