Previously, there was an issue where 'ms-python.python' extensions failed to be activated when the Visual Studio Code - Open Source ("Code - OSS") editor was refreshed in the browser. This defect was fixed in this release.
POST /kubernetes/namespace/provision could take up to 30 seconds on some clusters resulting in the broken dashboard
When accessed, the user dashboard makes a POST /Kubernetes/namespace/provision request. In some clusters, the request could take more than the 15-second timeout, making it impossible to access the user dashboard. The timeout was updated to 30 seconds in this release. Additionally, it is now possible to customize the timeout using the CHE_DASHBOARD_AXIOS_REQUEST_TIMEOUT environment variable.
This release fixes a bug where the User Dashboard did not properly display the original devfile in the workspace's 'Devfile' view

Previously, there was a bug where if the Gitconfig tab from the User Dashboard was opened before a PAT is created for the user, the Gitconfig tab would not display the user name and email. This defect was fixed in this release.
Previously, Eclipse Che would fetch the git user and email from the git provider regardless of whether the data already exists in the workspace-userdata-gitconfig-configmap ConfigMap in the user's namespace. In this release the ConfigMap is checked before, and only fetches the data from the git provider if needed.
