+
+1. A new `Container` view has been added along with a host of new commands, providing more ways to edit container images and environment variables directly.

+
+1. New one-click deployment method `Deploy to Container App...` added to the top-level container app node supports deployments from a workspace project or container registry. <br />
+    (If wishing to manage multiple apps in a workspace project, or if wishing to leverage faster deployments using saved settings, `Deploy Project from Workspace...` still remains the preferred deployment method and can be accessed via the workspace view.)
