Preview Releases
The preview versions are released ~4 weeks before releasing a major or minor (feature) version of ABP. They are released for developers to try and provide feedback to have more stable versions.
Versioning of a preview release is like that:
- 7.1.0-rc.1
- 8.0.0-rc.1
- 8.0.0-rc.2
More than one preview releases (like 8.1.0-rc.2 and 8.1.0-rc.3) might be published until the stable version (like 8.1.0).
Using the Preview Versions
Update the CLI
Before creating or updating an existing solution make sure to update the CLI to the latest preview version, for example:
dotnet tool update --global Volo.Abp.Studio.Cli
New Solutions
Creating new solutions with the preview version is not supported. All new solutions must be created with the stable version.
Existing Solutions
If you already have a solution and want to use/test the latest preview version, use the following ABP CLI command in the root folder of your solution.
abp switch-to-preview
You can return back to the latest stable using the abp switch-to-stable command later.
abp switch-to-stable
Providing Feedback
You can open an issue on the GitHub repository, if you find a bug or want to provide any kind of feedback.
