I will also tag a matching VSCode plugin release, but I need to check first if the tokens did not expire.

@byorgey should we maybe check if any dependencies can be updated before release?

For example this show the outdated versions for swarm-0.7.0.0:

@xsebek what's the status on a VSCode plugin release? I think we are just about ready to go.

@byorgey I just need to sign in to the plugin marketplace and generate a new token. 😅 You can go ahead and tag the release first, I will tag VSCode plugin afterwards.
