preview

Note that when using the preview version of AL-Go for GitHub, we recommend you Update your AL-Go system files, as soon as possible when informed that an update is available.

Deprecations

• cleanModePreProcessorSymbols will be removed after April 1st 2025. Use Conditional Settings instead, specifying buildModes and the preProcessorSymbols setting. Read this for more information.

Issues

• It is now possible to skip the modification of dependency version numbers when running the Increment Version number workflow or the Create Release workflow

New Repository Settings

• shortLivedArtifactsRetentionDays determines the number of days to keep short lived build artifacts (f.ex build artifacts from pull request builds, next minor or next major builds). 1 is default. 0 means use GitHub default.
• preProcessorSymbols is a list of preprocessor symbols to use when building the apps. This setting can be specified in workflow specific settings files or in conditional settings.

New Versioning Strategy

Setting versioning strategy to 3 will allow 3 segments of the version number to be defined in app.json and repoVersion. Only the 4th segment (Revision) will be defined by the GitHub run_number for the CI/CD workflow. Increment version number and Create Release now also supports the ability to set a third segment to the RepoVersion and appversion in app.json.

Change in published artifacts

When using useProjectDependencies in a multi-project repository, AL-Go for GitHub used to generate short lived build artifacts called thisBuild-<projectnaame>-<type>-.... This is no longer the case. Instead, normal build artifacts will be published and used by depending projects. The retention period for the short lived artifacts generated are controlled by a settings called shortLivedArtifactsRetentionDays.

Preprocessor symbols

It is now possible to define preprocessor symbols, which will be used when building your apps using the preProcessorSymbols setting. This setting can be specified in workflow specific settings file or it can be used in conditional settings.
