Summary:
Amazon Q Developer adds agentic coding features
Why It Matters:

What Changed:
- Added agentic capabilities that can autonomously implement features, document, and test code.
- Introduced a perpetual Free Tier offering 50 agentic chat interactions per month.
- Added support for Java upgrades and .NET porting from Windows to Linux.
- Expanded availability to GitLab, GitHub, Microsoft Teams, and Slack.
- Highlighted top scores on the SWE-Bench Leaderboard for autonomous coding.
