Release Notes Text

An extension was used to open the project folder at VS Code startup. The result was VS Code beeing loaded twice in the user browser. This is not necessary anymore as we use the VS Code startup parameter --default-folder that has been (re-)introduced recently.

The work on this issue has been postponed. At least, until we fix #21537

[l0rd]

We should try replacing ?tkn=eclipse-che with ?folder=${PROJECT_SOURCE}.
