 ### Fixes
 
+* Pull Request: [#2122](https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/pull/2122)
+  * Restore old `alias.cmd` without `create` syntax because it did not work in all situations.
+* Pull Request: [#2113](https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/pull/2113)
+  * Add `vendor\bin\vscode_init.cmd` for use with Visual Studio Code
+  * Fixes [#2118](https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/issues/2118)
+  * Fixes [#1985](https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/issues/1985)
 * Pull Request: [#2106](https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/pull/2106)
   * Portable Git requires running `post-install.bat` which deletes itself when done.  This was not happening.
   * Resolves [#2105](https://github.com/cmderdev/cmder/issues/2105)
