Releases

A release is a version of software and its compatible config schemas. Within a fleet of robots, multiple software versions may be deployed—each release defines which config schemas are valid for that version. For example, software release v1.7.0 might specify the following schemas: Before deploying config instances to a device, the deployment’s release (v1.7.0) is used to verify that all required config instances are present and that each instance complies with the release’s schemas.

Duplicate a release

Duplicating a release creates a new release with the same config schemas and git information as the original. Of course, since releases require a unique version, the duplicated release must have a different version from the original release. Duplicating a release does not duplicate the release’s deployments—only the release, its schemas, and git information are duplicated. To duplicate a release, click the ellipses (…) on the release you want to duplicate and select Duplicate. A dialog will appear—input the new version name and hit Create.

Delete a release

Deleting a release is only possible if no deployments have been delivered to any device with that release. Otherwise, the release cannot be deleted. To delete a release, click the ellipses (…) on the release you want to delete and hit Delete. A confirmation dialog will appear. Hit Delete to confirm the deletion.
