Note
For information about release and hotfix policy, refer to the DevExpress HotFix and Maintenance Release FAQ.
This article describes how to install hotfixes from your personal NuGet feed.
If you need to request a nightly build that includes newly implemented functionality not yet available in official builds, refer to the following article: Request a DevExpress Nightly Build / Hotfix.
For those using CI/CD pipelines to build projects, NuGet hotfixes will help save time during the upgrade/update process. Previously, hotfixes via our Unified Component Installers required manual intervention within CI/CD systems.
Even if you are not using a CI/CD system, NuGet hotfixes will help streamline the upgrade/update process for non-visual components such as the DevExpress Office File API, Role-Based Access Control API (FREE) (products that do not require Visual Studio design-time functionality). If you are using non-visual components, it will be much faster to edit a package version (two bytes) in Directory.Build.props or *.CSPROJ files than to download and execute our Unified Component Installer.
You can install hotfixes via NuGet for DevExpress products v22.1+, designed for the following platforms:
.NET Framework
.NET 6+
.NET MAUI & Xamarin
You can request a hotfix in a Support Center ticket. DevExpress engineers will do their best to test and publish the hotfix within a week. However, the process may take longer.
After you receive a hotfix notification email from DevExpress, you can install hotfixes from your personal NuGet feed:
A hotfix eventually makes its way into an official minor release. DevExpress then unlists the hotfix package version (you can no longer find it in the feed). The version does remain available for download - you can build your projects without errors.
