Artifacts `.current.dll` and `.next.dll` will become obsolete in the future

With the introduction of supporting multiple versions of the AL Language, the naming of the artifacts could be interpreted in various ways. It wasn't always clear if the current or next relates to the version of the LinterCop itself or the AL Language.

To create more clarity about this, to new artifacts where added;

  • BusinessCentral.LinterCop.dll
  • BusinessCentral.LinterCop.AL-PreRelease.dll

If you're doubting which is the correct artifact, probably the BusinessCentral.LinterCop.dll is the one you need.
To create a better distinction between the pre-release of the LinterCop and the AL Language, the .next has been renamed to BusinessCentral.LinterCop.AL-PreRelease.dll and is currently exact the same as the BusinessCentral.LinterCop.next.dll.

AL Version Artifact State
Release BusinessCentral.LinterCop.dll New
Release BusinessCentral.LinterCop.current.dll Obsolete
Pre-Release BusinessCentral.LinterCop.AL-PreRelease.dll New
Pre-Release BusinessCentral.LinterCop.next.dll Obsolete

In the not yet determined future, not earlier than 2025, the .current.dll and .next.dll will no longer be included in the releases.
