   * [telemetry.ts](../../Extension/src/telemetry.ts): Telemetry data gets sent to either `logLanguageServerEvent` or `logDebuggerEvent`.
   * The Tag Parser (symbol database) doesn't automatically expand macros, so the [cpp.hint](../../Extension/cpp.hint) file contains definitions of macros that should be expanded in order for symbols to be parsed correctly.

 # C/C++ for Visual Studio Code Change Log
 
-## Version 0.14.6: Janurary 2, 2017
+## Version 0.14.6: Janurary 16, 2017
 * Fix tag parser failing (and continuing to fail after edits) when it shouldn't. [#1367](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/1367)
 * Fix tag parser taking too long due to redundant processing. [#1288](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/1288)
 * Fix debugging silently failing the 1st time if a C/C++ file isn't opened. [#1366](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/1366)
 * Skip automatically adding to `files.associations` if it matches an existing glob pattern or if `C_Cpp.files.associations.autoAdd` is `false`. [#722](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/722)
 * Fix extra reload message after installing with VS Code 1.19. [#1362](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/1362)
 * Fix incorrect "Warning: Expected file ... is missing" message after installing on Linux. [#1334](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/1334)
 * Fix "Include file not found" messages not re-appearing after settings changes. [#1363](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/1363)
+* Performance improvements with `browse.path` parsing, and stop showing "Parsing files" when there's no actual parsing. [#1393](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/1393)
+* Fix crash when settings with the wrong type are used. [#1396](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/1396)
+* Allow semicolons in `browse.path`. [#1415](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/1415)
+* Add `C_Cpp.workspaceParsingPriority` setting to avoid using 100% CPU during parsing of workspace files.
+* Add `C_Cpp.exclusionPolicy` default to `checkFolders` to avoid expensive `files.exclude` checking on every file.
 
 ## Version 0.14.5: December 18, 2017
 * Fix for stackwalk `NullReferenceException`. [#1339](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-cpptools/issues/1339)
