"Description": "Explore ABP Framework's preview releases, designed for developers to test upcoming features and provide feedback for enhanced stability."
}
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:
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).
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
Creating new solutions with the preview version is not supported. All new solutions must be created with the stable version.
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
You can open an issue on the GitHub repository, if you find a bug or want to provide any kind of feedback.
