🚀 Copilot API Gateway v2.11.0 is Live & New 'Good First Issues' Available!

[suhaibbinyounis]

Hey everyone! 👋

We just shipped v2.11.0 of the Copilot API Gateway!

This update brings some massive improvements thanks to our awesome community contributors:

• Anthropic Tools Implementation: Underlying Claude pipelines now properly bridge tool-call requests (tool_use).
• Dashboard IPC Reactivity: Your webview dashboard should now consume significantly less CPU, entirely abandoning full-HTML DOM rebuilds for differential state messages!
• Memory Fixes: Patched a legacy IP-tracking connection leak for endpoints like / and /health.
• Advanced Regex Engine: Intelligent wildcard mapping for Claude date-model variants.

💡 Looking for Contributors!

With the newest architecture out, I've officially gone through and tracked exactly what we need to tackle next to optimize the extension.

I've just opened 4 brand new issues, including Good First Issues ranging from simple bug fixes to feature implementations. If you've been looking to contribute to the project, this is the perfect time! Grab one here:
