7. Added a zh-tw translation (#)
8. Prompting to install a linter now allows for disabling that specific linter as well as linters globally (#971)

8. Debugging from a virtual environment named env now works (#691)
9. Disabling linting in a single folder of a mult-root workspace no longer disables it for all folders (#862)
10. Fix the default debugger settings for Flask apps (#573)
11. Format paths correctly when sending commands through WSL and git-bash; this does not lead to official support for either terminal (#895)
