| 6 | +This release also contains all changes listed in [v2021.8.1-preview](#v202181-preview) |
| 7 | +below. Notably it fixes several major issues when debugging scripts that were caused by |
| 8 | +threading deadlocks in both PowerShell Editor Services and its library, [OmniSharp's C# |
| 9 | +Language Server Protocol][omnisharp] that we resolved by setting the compiler to treat |
| 10 | +[CA2007][] as an error. This allowed us to programmatically fix _every_ awaited task to |
| 11 | +use `.ConfigureAwait(false)` and so avoid deadlocks caused by the introduction of new |
| 12 | +synchronization contexts in user code (such as the use of `System.Windows.Forms`). By |
| 13 | +fixing this through a compiler rule, we effectively prevent the issue from recurring. |
| 14 | +Additionally, we not only added a full regression test for this scenario but also |
| 15 | +re-enabled all the prior `DebugService` unit tests in PowerShell Editor Services. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +While there is still much work to do, we are making significant headway on improve the |
| 18 | +debugger's reliability, one of our current project focuses. See the [Debugger Reliability |
| 19 | +Project](https://github.com/PowerShell/vscode-powershell/projects/9) for our progress. |
