Version Bump Review — ✅ Looks Good
Routine post-branch-snap version bump for main after the vs18.7 release branch was cut.
Changes verified:
| Property | Old | New | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|
VersionPrefix |
18.7.0 |
18.8.0 |
✅ Correct minor version increment |
PackageValidationBaselineVersion |
18.6.0-preview-26180-08 |
18.7.0-preview-26229-01 |
✅ Correctly updated to track the now-snapped 18.7 preview build |
AssemblyVersion |
15.1.0.0 |
15.1.0.0 |
✅ Unchanged — stable per MSBuild binary compat convention |
Checklist:
- ✅ Only
eng/Versions.propsmodified — no unrelated changes - ✅ Minor version bump follows the established
18.N.0pattern - ✅ Baseline version points to the previous release's preview build (18.7.0-preview), which is the correct anchor for package API compatibility validation
- ✅
AssemblyVersionremains pinned at15.1.0.0(never changes — required for binary backward compatibility) - ✅ No breaking change concerns — this is infrastructure versioning only
