VSCode only allows the patch version number to be between 0 and 2,147,483,647. The full date and time is not possible to fit into this value. Instead, we will now just do
YYYYMMdd
which will only allow us to publish daily builds. We could tack on a build number from 0-99 in the future like the Python extension if we ever need more than one build per day.
