DevOps specialist GitLab has officially taken over the control of a GitLab extension for Microsoft's open source, cross-platform Visual Studio Code editor.

The GitLab 17.4 development platform brings updates such as a connection to the Extension Marketplace for third-party extensions and more intelligent code suggestions with GitLab Duo.

GitLab Duo Agent Platform is a devsecops orchestration platform designed to enable asynchronous collaboration between developers and AI agents.

The AI-powered Duo Code Review service is generally available and GitLab.com now issues warnings when users use compromised passwords.
