Hi Mike,

Yes, absolutely, I’m on it! I wanted to get the new images released immediately since I know you’ve been asking about them. The language server update is next on my list to ensure VS Code recognizes the new images properly.

Thanks for your patience, and I’ll keep you posted on the language server update.

Thank you @ahmedwab for picking up the language server update!

I have been able to use ubuntu-2404:2025.09.1 successfully anyway and I’m glad to be able to use latest versions of Docker etc.!

The new current release could be used now. The default image should now be identical to edge.
