We’ve just released version 2.13.0 of the of the [Haxe extension for Visual Studio Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=nadako.vshaxe). This release primarily adds some new extension APIs that enable the newly created lix extension:

If you’re unfamiliar, [lix](https://github.com/lix-pm/lix.client) is a package manager for Haxe. Unlike Haxelib, it makes it possible to easily switch between different Haxe versions and to lock down the dependencies of a project to exact versions so that the setup is easily reproducible.

While lix has previously already worked fine with VSCode, the new extension allows for a much tighter integration. It adds auto-detection of the Haxe executable (which previously had to be configured in `settings.json`, Haxe Dependencies support, as well as various commands for the command palette, for instance to install libraries or switch between Haxe versions. **For the full list of features, [check out the readme](https://github.com/lix-pm/lix.vscode#lixvscode).**
