Release notes:

New Features

• Context-Aware Autocompletion in Collection View: The filter, project, sort, and aggregation editors now provide schema-aware field suggestions, type-aware operator ordering, hover documentation, real-time syntax validation, and relaxed query syntax (unquoted keys, BSON constructors, JavaScript expressions). #508, #506, #513, #518
• Query Playground: Introduces .documentdb.js files for writing and running JavaScript scripts against your cluster with CodeLens execution (per-block and Run All), console.log()/print()/printjson() support, per-file connections, and autocompletion for db.* chains and schema fields. No external tools required: the runtime is bundled and works with Entra ID. #508, #573, #589
• Interactive Shell: A full REPL terminal in VS Code with shell commands (show dbs, use , help, it, exit), persistent eval context (variables carry over between commands), syntax highlighting, tab completion with ghost text, Ctrl+C cancellation, and clickable result links. Bundled runtime, no external tools needed, works with Entra ID. #508, #573, #576, #580
• Cross-Feature Navigation: Collection View, Query Playground, and Interactive Shell are linked with toolbar buttons, CodeLens actions, clickable terminal links, and clipboard copy/paste for seamless query movement between surfaces. #589
• About Dialog: Adds an "About" entry to the Help & Feedback view with extension version, VS Code version, OS details, and registered plugins, plus a Copy button for bug reporting. #612

Improvements

• Query Insights: Static Analysis: Improved performance evaluation with selectivity and fetch overhead metrics, three-color badge system, index strategy advisories, and edge case fixes. AI analysis now aligns with static analysis to avoid contradictions. Demoted score for single-field bitmap indexes on high-selectivity queries. #615, #616, #623
• Double-Click to Open Collection View: The Documents tree item now requires a double-click to open the Collection View, preventing tabs from opening accidentally on single-click browse.
• Custom Editor Tab Icons: Collection View, Document View, and Query Playground tabs now display dedicated icons instead of the default webview icon.
• Telemetry: Simplified and standardized telemetry instrumentation across connection, discovery, shell, and playground features. #601, #544, #599
• Internal Package Rename: Renamed internal packages to @documentdb-js scope for consistency. #613
• Prerelease Version Migration: Implemented migration for prerelease version handling in notifications. #610

Fixes

• Duplicate Connection Reveal: Fixed an issue where revealing a duplicate connection failed when the connection was inside a folder. #602

Dependencies

• Dependency Updates: Updated fast-uri, fast-xml-builder, basic-ftp, path-to-regexp, fast-xml-parser, and @aws-sdk/xml-builder. #624, #606, #607, #609, #627, #628, #629
