Releases FAQ

What's the current release?

Where do I find my current version?

Sign in to the TrustBuilder Admin Portal. The page footer just below your username provides the version number for the tenant you are currently working in.

What's the naming convention for updates?

TrustBuilder names its releases according to Semantic Versioning 2.0.0:

TrustBuilder releases a new <major version> when new functionality is introduced that breaks one or more APIs. A <major version> release may therefor introduce backward-incompatible changes.
TrustBuilder releases a new <minor version> when a new module is introduced with new APIs. A new <minor version> may contain additional APIs and non-breaking updates of existing APIs.
TrustBuilder releases a new <update> version for UX-level updates, backward-compatible API updates, bug fixes and security fixes.

Compatibility?

For <minor version> releases and <update> releases, TrustBuilder strives to update Production-level APIs in a backward-compatible way:

Updated APIs may add optional fields and parameters;
Updated APIs do not change the semantics and the meaning of existing fields and parameters;
Updated APIs are not more restrictive in the applying validation rules, except for reasons of security (e.g. a discovered software vulnerability) or overall stability (e.g. a discovered weakness in handling an edge case).

TrustBuilder may from time to time require that updated APIs include breaking changes and imply database migrations. Such releases are marked as a new <major version> and a new API version.

How often does TrustBuilder release new versions?

TrustBuilder typically releases <update> versions once a month and include:

Feature enhancements
New API endpoints and updated API endpoints
Bug and Security Fixes
New app integrations

What's the difference between Preview and Production releases?

A Preview release contains features, enhancements, fixes, and integrations that are deployed to Preview tenants only. We perform non-regression testing in preview tenants. A Preview tenant is optional and available upon request. There is no service level commitment.

A Production release contain features, enhancements, fixes, and integrations that are made available to customer tenants. Customer tenants may be labelled to distinguish their development, acceptance and production tenant.

Please note that it is not possible to backport your configuration between preview and production tenants. These are two separate configurations.

Most features and enhancements that are introduced in a Preview release are typically made available in the Production release during the next deployment date.
