Shields.io dropped support for VS Marketplace badges in badges/shields#11792. This makes the badges render useless with the "retired badge" text instead.

  • Replaced the version badge with an Open VSX Registry version badge.

  • Replaced the installs badge with a static text badge to set an approximate number (~1.5k) of VS Marketplace installs based on the current total (1,401 at commit time). The usage of ~ is to ensure it's read as an approximate number, and not as an exact number. This is the only work around (currently) for the loss of the dynamic badge.
