Learn more about Releases
When using the Matrix42 DevOps Services every Build of a Digital Workspace Platform Extension results in a Release. This way you can think of a Release as a milestone of the product lifecycle of an Extension, tagged with a version.
You can get an overview of all Releases of an Extension by clicking on the "View" link of the Extension in the Matrix42 DevOps Portal. (https://extensions.matrix42.com/portal)
Releases are named by a number that increments with each consecutive release of the Extension.
There are different ways on how to add a Release to an Extension:
- Upload a Release manually by clicking the
(Upload Release) action on an Extension. (Might be hidden in the
action menu.)
- Deploying Releases automatically via an Azure DevOps Pipeline
(Build & Deploy a Configuration Package with Azure DevOps Pipeline)
Please be aware that only contributors with at least the "Contributor" permission level can upload Releases to an Extension.
Each Release has a status badge which tells you the state of the Release in the product lifecycle:
Available: This release is available to be published. (Learn more about publishing Extensions)
Published: This release is already published to the Matrix42 Extension Gallery. (https://extensions.matrix42.com)
