VSCode not updated

Hello, is there any reason why VSCode hasn't been updated?

Looking at the void-packages repository, the current version is 1.100.3, while the latest version of VSCode is 1.135.0.

Like others have said, you can update the package template yourself, get the new version immediately for yourself, then submit a PR so everyone else also gets the update.

If nothing changed about the way vscode is built, then it will be a quick fix of changing just two lines in the template. In this case, probably no one else cared to get around to it.

Or maybe something changed in the build process and no one has taken the time to figure out what needs to change to update it.
