Change Log¶

All notable changes to the "ALOps" extension.

[v2.485] - 2026-10-13¶

All Tasks: the Azure DevOps v3 tasks now pin ALOpsV3.Module 0.1.11643-alpha, which carries the v3 fixes in this release (v3)
ALOpsAdminCenterAPI: fix client certificate authentication failing with "does not contain a method named 'GetRSAPrivateKey'" right after the certificate is loaded — client secret authentication is unchanged (GitHub #1024) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: fix AL1022 on Microsoft test libraries (Tests-TestLibraries, System Application Test Library, ...) when compiling for W1 with bc_version NextMinor or NextMajor (GitHub #1006) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: with bc_version NextMinor or NextMajor, all Microsoft symbols, test libraries included, come from the BC insider artifacts (country artifact first, then platform) — the MSSymbols NuGet feed is no longer contacted; released BC versions are unchanged (GitHub #1006) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: insider builds copy only the Microsoft apps the workspace depends on (about 15 instead of ~140), so the missing-symbol pre-check finishes much faster (GitHub #1006) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: localized insider builds use the right Base Application — Applications. takes precedence over the rest of the country artifact and the platform (GitHub #1006) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: the log lists every copied insider symbol with its version and source (country artifact or platform) (GitHub #1006) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: fix NextMinor and NextMajor builds with an alcachepath that does not exist yet — the folder is now created before symbols are copied (GitHub #1006) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: fix updateruntime LATEST with bc_version NextMajor or NextMinor writing altool's "The version string is not valid." usage text into app.json as the runtime, which then failed with AL1039 (GitHub #1022) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: updateruntime LATEST resolves against the version of the downloaded insider artifact (for example 30.0) in Serial and Parallel mode; %BC_VERSION% in appfilenametemplate still reads NextMajor or NextMinor (GitHub #1022) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: updateruntime LATEST accepts a major-only bc_version such as 30, looked up as 30.0 (GitHub #1022) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: altool's answer is validated before it reaches app.json — a failed lookup stops the step with a clear message suggesting a newer altool_package_version or an explicit updateruntime X.Y value (GitHub #1022) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: fix "The process cannot access the file '...\Analyzers\.dll' because it is being used by another process" when several agents on one machine compile with the same custom code analyzer from the repository (GitHub #1023) (v1 and v2)
ALOpsAppCompiler: a repository analyzer is only copied into the shared BC artifact cache when it differs from the cached copy — an identical copy is reused, an updated analyzer is still picked up (GitHub #1023) (v1 and v2)
ALOpsAppCompiler: when a different version of the analyzer is locked by another build, the task fails with "a different version is in use by another process" instead of a raw file-access error (GitHub #1023) (v1 and v2)
ALOpsAppCompiler: a repository analyzer is found with or without the .dll extension in al_analyzer (v1) and alcodeanalyzer (v2); alcodeanalyzer entries are now trimmed as in v1 (GitHub #1023) (v1 and v2)
ALOpsAppCompiler: the Azure DevOps v3 task help text is updated for alcachepath and additional_probing_paths (GitHub #1019), bc_localization (GitHub #1008), allowed_publisher_names (GitHub #1012), and bc_version / auto_resolve_ms_symbols (GitHub #1006) (v3)
ALOpsExtensionAPI: fix client certificate authentication (azure_app_client_certificate) failing with "does not contain a method named 'GetRSAPrivateKey'" — no change to the Entra app registration is needed (GitHub #1024) (v3)
ALOpsNuGetPublish: the Azure DevOps v3 task help text for nuget_username, nuget_password and nuget_source_apikey explains Azure DevOps Artifacts authentication — System.AccessToken or a PAT with Packaging (Read & write) scope (GitHub #1013) (v3)
ALOpsOpenAPI: fix client certificate authentication failing with "does not contain a method named 'GetRSAPrivateKey'" (GitHub #1024) (v3)
ALOpsPackageImport: fix client certificate authentication in API mode failing with "does not contain a method named 'GetRSAPrivateKey'" (GitHub #1024) (v3)
ALOpsPackageImport: a certificate without a private key, or a non-RSA certificate, fails with the clear "Certificate does not contain an RSA private key" message (GitHub #1024) (v3)

[v2.484] - 2026-09-23¶

ALOpsAppCompiler: additional_probing_paths is honoured in Parallel compilation mode — the altool workspace compile call now receives --assemblyprobingpaths, so .NET add-in references no longer fail with AL0451 "could not be found in the assembly probing paths ''" (GitHub #1019) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: Parallel mode resolves assembly probing paths the same way Serial mode does — the .NET assembly folders found below alsourcepath plus the additional_probing_paths entries, joined comma-separated for altool (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: additional_probing_paths entries may be comma- or newline-separated; entries are trimmed, surrounding double or single quotes are stripped, empty entries are dropped and duplicates are removed, in Serial and Parallel mode (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: a quoted additional_probing_paths entry no longer reaches the compiler with its quote characters, which made alc ignore or truncate the folder — in Serial mode such an entry was previously wrapped in a second pair of quotes (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: a warning names every assembly probing path that does not exist, in Serial and Parallel mode, so an AL1018 from the compiler can be traced to the offending entry (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: alcachepath accepts several folders, comma-separated — the full list is passed to alc and altool as the package cache path (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: with several alcachepath folders, the first folder is the target for symbols downloaded by the auto_resolve_* inputs, the NextMajor and NextMinor platform symbol copies, the force_download_mssymbols cleanup and the Serial-mode symbol copies (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: the missing-symbol pre-check indexes every alcachepath folder — a comma-separated alcachepath previously flagged every dependency as MISSING SYMBOL, because the joined string was looked up as one folder that does not exist (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: quotes around alcachepath entries are stripped as well, and each folder is resolved on its own against the working folder (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: the Resolve Source & Symbol Paths log section lists each symbol cache folder (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: help text for alcachepath and additional_probing_paths clarified — comma-separated for several folders, do not wrap entries in quotes, probing paths are searched recursively (one Service folder entry is enough) while the symbol cache is not (list each folder) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: the Azure DevOps task definition and the GitHub action definition show the updated help text for alcachepath and additional_probing_paths (v3)
ALOpsAppLicenseCheck: fix "The argument type 'Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Types.PermissionMask' is not the same as the enum type 'Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Types.PermissionMask'" (Enum.HasFlag) on BC 28 and earlier in a PowerShell 7 session (pwsh input enabled) — a regression introduced by the BC 29 change in v2.483 (GitHub #1020) (v1)
ALOpsAppLicenseCheck: Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Types.dll is loaded with Assembly.LoadFrom instead of Assembly.LoadFile — under PowerShell 7, LoadFile isolates the assembly in its own load context, so a second copy of Nav.Types resolved elsewhere in the session yielded two distinct PermissionMask types (v1)
ALOpsAppLicenseCheck: the license reader and the per-object permission check now bind to the same Nav.Types assembly in the default load context, as they did with Import-Module before v2.483 (v1)
ALOpsAppLicenseCheck: when LoadFrom cannot load the Types assembly, the task falls back to LoadFile (the v2.483 behaviour) and logs "*** LoadFrom failed for BC Types DLL, falling back to LoadFile" — BC 29 cannot end up worse than in v2.483 (v1)
ALOpsAppLicenseCheck: Windows PowerShell sessions (pwsh input disabled) are unaffected — LoadFile and LoadFrom behave identically there (v1)
ALOpsAppLicenseCheck: no pipeline or license change is needed to pick up the fix (v1)

[v2.483] - 2026-09-21¶

All Tasks: Business Central 29 (NextMajor) containers now load the management module correctly — BC 29 ships Microsoft's pure-PowerShell management modules (.psd1 + .psm1) in Service\Admin next to a .NET 10 binary that imports in neither Windows PowerShell 5.1 nor PowerShell 7, so ALOps now imports the module manifest instead of the DLL (GitHub #1016, #998) (v1 and v2)
All Tasks: fixes "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Data.SqlClient, Version=6.0.0.0' ... Uncaught exception during type initialization (0x80131534)" when a task loads the management module of a BC 29 container in a PowerShell 7 session (GitHub #1016) (v1)
All Tasks: fixes "Could not load file or assembly 'System.Runtime, Version=10.0.0.0'" when a task loads the management module of a BC 29 container in a Windows PowerShell session (v1)
All Tasks: BC 29 no longer requires PowerShell 7 — the module manifest imports in Windows PowerShell 5.1 as well as in PowerShell 7, so the pwsh input is optional again (v1)
All Tasks: the automatic switch to a PowerShell 7 container session for BC 29+ containers, introduced in v2.482, is removed — the session follows the pwsh input again (v1)
All Tasks: the alops_pwsh_autodetect pipeline variable introduced in v2.482 is no longer used and can be removed from pipelines (v1)
All Tasks: container sessions no longer open an extra probe session with two recursive Service folder scans before connecting to the container (v1)
All Tasks: ALOps no longer enables PowerShell remoting inside a BC 29 container as a side effect of the PowerShell 7 auto-switch (v1)
All Tasks: the module manifest is only used when it is a real script module — a manifest that merely wraps the binary (BC 28 Admin folder) keeps the existing DLL handling (v1 and v2)
All Tasks: the Apps management module follows the same rule — Microsoft.BusinessCentral.Apps.Management.psd1 is preferred on BC 29, with the DLL as fallback (v1 and v2)
All Tasks: BC14 to BC28 containers and artifacts resolve the management module exactly as before — tier 1 and tier 2 are unchanged (v1 and v2)
All Tasks: the Admin folder is matched as a path segment — a search path that merely contains the text "Admin", such as C:\Users\Administrator, no longer skews the management module lookup (v1 and v2)
All Tasks: the task log shows "tier 3, Admin folder, PowerShell module manifest" when the BC 29 module manifest is used (v1 and v2)
All Tasks: the "enable the pwsh input" warning is only logged on the binary fallback path, no longer for every BC 29 container (v1 and v2)
All Tasks: the "management module not found" error no longer claims that BC 29 requires PowerShell 7 (v1 and v2)
All Tasks: the assembly-resolve fallback is only attached when a binary module is imported, not for a module manifest (v1)
All Tasks: Business Central 29 support — the BC management cmdlets are imported from Microsoft.BusinessCentral.Management.psd1 on BC 29 and later, and from Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Management.dll on BC 28 and earlier (GitHub #1016, #998) (v3)
All Tasks: the same management module is chosen whether a task runs inside a container or against a local service tier (v3)
All Tasks: with several Business Central versions installed side by side, the newest install wins (v3)
All Tasks: the Apps management module is always taken from the same install as the management module, never paired across BC versions (v3)
All Tasks: BC24 to BC28 keep loading the binary module — the Admin manifest of those versions only wraps the binary and is not used (v3)
All Tasks: modules below a LegacyDlls folder are ignored by the management module lookup (v3)
All Tasks: the task log shows which BC management module was imported — binary module or PowerShell module manifest — with its full path (v3)
All Tasks: a missing management module fails with a message naming both module files that were searched (v3)
All Tasks: unapproved-verb warnings from the BC modules no longer surface as pipeline warnings, so importing the module cannot mark a step as partially succeeded (v3)
All Tasks: the Azure DevOps v3 tasks now pin ALOpsV3.Module 0.1.11608-alpha, which carries the v3 fixes in this release (v3)
ALOpsAppClean: removing apps in a BC 29 container works in a Windows PowerShell session — the management module is imported from the module manifest (v1)
ALOpsAppCompiler: the v2 compiler loads the management module from BC 29 artifacts through the module manifest — this path was broken on BC 29 with no workaround, not even the pwsh input (v2)
ALOpsAppCompiler: management module lookup on a BC 29 service tier uses the module manifest (v1)
ALOpsAppLicenseCheck: the Business Central Types assembly is loaded with Assembly.LoadFile instead of Import-Module, which cannot load the .NET 10 build shipped with BC 29 ("Could not load file or assembly 'System.Memory, Version=4.0.2.0'") (v1)
ALOpsAppPublish: publishing into a BC 29 container works with the pwsh input disabled (v1)
ALOpsAppPublish: fix "Unable to find type [Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Types.Apps.NavAppSyncState]" on BC 29 — the app sync state is compared as text ('Synced', 'VersionRemoved'), which behaves identically on BC14 to BC28 (v1)
ALOpsAppPublish: the uninstall-before-sync check for apps in the VersionRemoved state works on BC 29 (v1)
ALOpsAppPublish: the safety sync before a data upgrade works on BC 29 (v1)
ALOpsAppPublish: fix "Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Management.dll not found" when publishing into a BC 29 container (v3)
ALOpsAppPublish: local (non-Docker) mode uses the same BC 29 aware management module lookup as Docker mode (v3)
ALOpsAppPublish: install_al_test_tool — test apps are de-duplicated correctly on BC 29, where the app id is a plain GUID; previously every test app could be skipped silently (v3)
ALOpsAppSource: management module lookup against BC 29 artifacts uses the module manifest (v1)
ALOpsAppTest: the management module inside a BC 29 container is imported from the module manifest (v1)
ALOpsDockerExec: BC 29 containers run the script in a Windows PowerShell session again by default — the v2.482 switch to PowerShell 7 is undone; enable the pwsh input to opt in to PowerShell 7 (v1)
ALOpsDockerExec: the BC management cmdlets (Get-NAVAppInfo, Publish-NAVApp, ...) are available to the script on BC 29 in both Windows PowerShell and PowerShell 7 sessions (v1)
ALOpsDockerExec: fix the BC management cmdlets not being available to the script on BC 29 containers ("Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Management.dll not found") (v3)
ALOpsDockerExec: the BC 29 module manifest is imported in the Windows PowerShell container session the task uses (v3)
ALOpsDockerRemove: the SQL backup works on BC 29 containers in a Windows PowerShell session (v1)
ALOpsDockerRemove: the SqlServer / SQLPS compatibility fallback stays in place for pipelines that enable the pwsh input (v1)
ALOpsDockerRemove: fix publishsqlbackup failing on BC 29 with "Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Management.dll not found in container" (v3)
ALOpsDockerRemove: the SQL backup resolves the server instance from the newest BC install instead of the first match (v3)
ALOpsNuGetPublish: management module lookup against BC 29 artifacts uses the module manifest (v1)
ALOpsPackageImport: the management module inside a BC 29 container is imported from the module manifest (v1)
ALOpsPackageImport: fix RapidStart package import on BC 29 (v3)
ALOpsPackageImport: fix RapidStart import via cmdlet on BC 27 and BC 28 — Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Apps.Management.dll was imported unconditionally, a file that no longer exists from BC 27 on (v3)
ALOpsPackageImport: package error retrieval (Get-NAVConfigPackageError) works on BC 29 (v3)
ALOpsPackageImport: Docker and local mode both use the BC 29 aware management module lookup (v3)

[v2.482] - 2026-09-15¶

All Tasks: Business Central 29 (NextMajor) containers work again — BC 29 dropped Service\Management\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Management.dll and only ships the PowerShell 7 build in Service\Admin, so every v1 task that loads the management module inside a BC 29 container failed with "Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Path' because it is an empty string" (GitHub #998) (v1)
All Tasks: the Business Central management module lookup now has three tiers — BusinessCentral outside Admin, Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav for BC14 to BC28, and the BC29+ Admin folder — so BC14 to BC28 containers keep their current behaviour, including Windows PowerShell sessions (v1 and v2)
All Tasks: container sessions detect a BC 29+ container and switch to PowerShell 7 automatically, even when the pwsh input is not enabled (v1)
All Tasks: new alops_pwsh_autodetect pipeline variable — set it to false to keep the Windows PowerShell container session (v1)
All Tasks: a warning is logged when only the PowerShell 7 build of the management module exists but the session runs Windows PowerShell — enable the pwsh input or install PowerShell 7 in the container (v1 and v2)
All Tasks: a missing management module now fails with a clear message naming the search path, instead of an empty-path binding error (v1 and v2)
All Tasks: the task log shows the resolved management module tier and its full path (v1 and v2)
All Tasks: the Azure DevOps v3 tasks now pin ALOpsV3.Module 0.1.11592-alpha, which carries the v3 fixes in this release (v3)
ALOpsAppClean: management module lookup inside the container updated for BC 29 (v1)
ALOpsAppCompiler: management module lookup updated for BC 29 in the v2 compiler; the Apps management module import is now guarded when the DLL is absent (v2)
ALOpsAppCompiler: allowed_publisher_names honours a publisher supplied by a governing directory.app.props.json (BC 2025 wave 2 and later) — fixes "Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Publisher' because it is an empty string" (GitHub #1012) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: publisher, name, runtime and the other directory.app.props.json properties are merged into the effective app manifest — app.json wins when both define a property, and $(variable) tokens from the variables section are resolved, including chained variables (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: app.json is never written with values inherited from directory.app.props.json; only the compiled result uses them (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: the compilation order, group labels and the App Information log show the effective publisher and version of governed apps instead of empty values (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: appfilenametemplate placeholders %APP_PUBLISHER% and %APP_NAME% use the effective values, so the output file name no longer silently loses the publisher (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: Parallel mode matches and collects the compiled .app of a governed app correctly — the publisher mismatch previously caused the package to be skipped (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: Parallel mode now enforces allowed_publisher_names as well; disallowed projects fail before the workspace is created and their app.json is left untouched (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: an app without a publisher in app.json or in a governing directory.app.props.json fails with an actionable error when allowed_publisher_names is set, instead of a binding exception (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: a runtime supplied by directory.app.props.json is recognised, so the "track_source_build_metadata requires runtime >= 12" warning no longer fires for governed apps (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: the log states which values were inherited from directory.app.props.json, and warns when an unresolved $(variable) remains in name or publisher (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: duplicate-app detection no longer throws when a version contains an unresolvable $(variable) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: allowed_publisher_names help text documents the directory.app.props.json support (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: auto_resolve_ms_symbols resolves individual Microsoft apps localized-first — the localized package Microsoft...symbols is preferred and the W1 package is used only when no localized version matches bc_version (GitHub #1008) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: fixes AL1022 for German localisation apps such as E-Document for Germany, ELSTER VAT Localization for Germany and Intrastat DE on bc_localization de with bc_version 28.x, whose W1 packages are frozen at 27.0 (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: a Microsoft dependency package is only downloaded when one of its versions matches bc_version; stale candidates are skipped at info level and a single warning is logged when nothing matches (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: bc_localization is trimmed and case-insensitive for individual Microsoft apps as well (blank or w1 = W1) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: HTTP 404 responses from the MSSymbols feed are no longer retried — about 6 seconds and two warnings less per missing package, which also speeds up AppSource dependency probing (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: bc_localization help text documents the localized-first resolution of individual Microsoft apps (v3)
ALOpsAppPublish: publishing into a BC 29 container works again — the management module is found in Service\Admin and loaded in a PowerShell 7 session (v1)
ALOpsAppTest: management module lookup inside the container updated for BC 29 (v1)
ALOpsDockerExec: management module lookup inside the container updated for BC 29 — fixes "Cannot bind argument to parameter 'Name' because it is an empty string" (v1)
ALOpsDockerRemove: management module lookup for the SQL backup updated for BC 29 (v1)
ALOpsDockerRemove: SQL backup works in a PowerShell 7 container session — the SqlServer or SQLPS module is loaded through Windows PowerShell compatibility when Invoke-Sqlcmd is not available (v1)
ALOpsNuGetPublish: fix 401 (Unauthorized) when pushing to an Azure DevOps Artifacts feed — nuget_username and nuget_password are now sent as basic authentication, as the v1 task did (GitHub #1013) (v3)
ALOpsNuGetPublish: nuget_username defaults to 'AzureDevOps' when only nuget_password is supplied (v3)
ALOpsNuGetPublish: nuget_source_apikey and basic authentication can be combined — the API key is sent alongside the credentials (v3)
ALOpsNuGetPublish: the feed is registered in an isolated, per-push NuGet.Config in the agent temp folder that is deleted after the push — the agent's user-level NuGet.Config is no longer modified and no secret reaches a command line (v3)
ALOpsNuGetPublish: fix the package icon being dropped from every .nupkg ("Number of entries expected in End Of Central Directory does not correspond to number of entries in Central Directory") — the logo is now read from the .app through the NAVX package reader and packaged as logo. (v3)
ALOpsNuGetPublish: jpg and jpeg logos are declared in the package content types (v3)
ALOpsNuGetPublish: help text for nuget_username, nuget_password and nuget_source_apikey explains Azure DevOps Artifacts authentication (System.AccessToken with Contributor rights on the feed, or a PAT with Packaging Read & write scope) (v3)
ALOpsPackageImport: management module lookup inside the container updated for BC 29 (v1)

[v2.481] - 2026-09-08¶

All Tasks: v3 tasks in the Azure DevOps extension now pin the ALOpsV3.Module version that shipped with the release, instead of resolving the newest prerelease on PSGallery on every run — every agent runs identical module code (v3)
All Tasks: new alops_module_latest pipeline variable — set it to any value to override the pin and pull the newest ALOpsV3.Module prerelease from PSGallery (v3)
All Tasks: GitHub Actions keep resolving the newest ALOpsV3.Module prerelease on every run (v3)
All Tasks: ALOpsV3.Module installation is serialised with a machine-wide lock, so parallel jobs under the same agent account no longer race on the module folder (GitHub #997) (v3)
All Tasks: ALOpsV3.Module installation is retried three times with a 15 second delay on transient PSGallery or network failures (v3)
All Tasks: in latest mode, when the PSGallery lookup fails the newest already-installed ALOpsV3.Module is imported instead of failing the step (v3)
All Tasks: the task log shows the loaded ALOpsV3.Module version including its prerelease tag and the configured pin (v3)
ALOpsAdminCenterAPI: new set_update_window interaction to set the environment update window with update_window_start, update_window_end and update_window_timezone (GitHub #990) (v1 and v3)
ALOpsAdminCenterAPI: new environment_update_schedule interaction to select the target Business Central version and date for the next environment update — refresh a sandbox with environment_copy and schedule its update in the same pipeline (v1 and v3)
ALOpsAdminCenterAPI: new update_target_version input — leave empty to select the latest released (GA) version (v1 and v3)
ALOpsAdminCenterAPI: new update_datetime input (ISO 8601, UTC assumed) — leave empty to update as soon as the update window allows; a date without time is scheduled at 12:00 UTC (v1 and v3)
ALOpsAdminCenterAPI: new ignore_update_window input to start the scheduled update at the selected date-time even outside the update window (v1 and v3)
ALOpsAdminCenterAPI: a clear hint is logged when the Admin Center rejects the schedule because an update is already planned outside the new window (ScheduledUpgradeConstraintViolation) — run set_update_window before environment_update_schedule (v1 and v3)
ALOpsAdminCenterAPI: api_version input now also available on v3 (default v2.28); set_update_window requires API v2.13 or later (v3)
ALOpsAdminCenterAPI: fix set_application_insightskey ignoring the supplied key — the application_insightskey input was read under the wrong name (v1)
ALOpsAdminCenterAPI: fix set_application_insightskey overwriting the ALOPS_BCSAASENV_LOCATION variable; the key is now published as ALOPS_BCSAASENV_INSIGHTKEY (v1)
ALOpsAdminCenterAPI: maxtries is now enforced while waiting for environment copy, rename and delete — a timeout fails the step with a clear message instead of polling forever (v1)
ALOpsAdminCenterAPI: maxtries is now enforced while waiting for app_install and app_uninstall operations (v1)
ALOpsAppCompiler: al_analyzer accepts custom analyzers by DLL file name (e.g. BusinessCentral.LinterCop.dll, ALCops.LinterCop.dll) located anywhere below the working folder (GitHub #994) (v1)
ALOpsAppCompiler: with usedocker enabled, custom analyzer DLLs found on the host are copied into the container automatically (v1)
ALOpsAppCompiler: fix custom analyzer copy into the container failing with "Cannot find path 'C:\Users\ContainerAdministrator\Documents...dll'" (v1)
ALOpsAppCompiler: analyzer names are trimmed and a folder prefix such as .alcops/ALCops.LinterCop.dll is accepted (v1)
ALOpsAppCompiler: analyzer lookup supports the flat AL Language 18 / BC29 VSIX layout where the cops sit directly in extension\bin — fixes NextMajor and alternativevsixurl 'Latest' builds failing with "Cannot find path '...\bin\Analyzers\'" (GitHub #1007) (v1 and v2)
ALOpsAppCompiler: additionalprobingpaths — relative paths are resolved against the working folder (inside the container when usedocker is enabled) instead of the compiler's current directory (v1)
ALOpsAppCompiler: additionalprobingpaths that do not exist are skipped with a warning instead of aborting the compiler with AL1018 (v1)
ALOpsAppCompiler: a non-zero alc exit code now always fails the step with the compiler output, instead of "Compile OK" followed by "Cannot find path '...app'" (v1)
ALOpsAppCompiler: with usedocker enabled, a failed compile inside the container fails fast on the host with the compiler errors, before the artifact transfer (v1)
ALOpsAppCompiler: the log states when setup_working_folder is disabled and the container copy made by ALOps Docker Wait is used (v1)
ALOpsAppCompiler: help text for al_analyzer, additionalprobingpaths and setup_working_folder documents the working-folder rules (v1)
ALOpsAppCompiler: analyzers input accepts the built-in names CodeCop, UICop, AppSourceCop and PTECop (alias PerTenantExtensionCop), NONE, or a path to a custom analyzer DLL (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: analyzer DLLs are resolved across AL tool package layouts (parent folder and runtime subfolders), so future repackaging by Microsoft no longer breaks code analysis (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: an analyzer that cannot be resolved now fails the build instead of silently compiling without code analysis (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: Parallel mode normalises analyzer names the same way as Serial mode (PerTenantExtensionCop → PTECop, ${AnalyzerFolder} paths stripped) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: Parallel mode warns that custom analyzer DLLs require compilation_mode Serial, instead of failing on the altool call (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: AL tool installation no longer aborts when the agent lacks the privilege to create the Analyzers symbolic link (non-elevated self-hosted agents) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: info-level diagnostics (e.g. CodeCop AA0247, LinterCop and custom cops) are shown in the pipeline log again, regardless of outputalclogs (GitHub #1002) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: on GitHub Actions, info diagnostics are rendered as notice annotations with file, line and column (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: on Azure DevOps, info diagnostics are logged as 'path(line,col): message' lines and never mark the step as partially succeeded (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: outputalclogs now only controls the raw compiler output and pragma-suppressed or ignore-listed diagnostics — error, warning and info diagnostics are always shown (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: alc_error_log — console diagnostics missing from the alc /errorlog file are merged into _ALCErrorLog.txt, so the artifact always matches the log (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: alc_error_log now works in Parallel mode — ALOps generates the per-app ALCErrorLog file from the parsed diagnostics, since altool has no errorlog option (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: the ALCErrorLog artifact is published even when the compile fails (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: a stale ALCErrorLog file from a previous run is deleted before compiling (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: rule ids from third-party analyzers keep their original casing in the log and in the error log (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: fix Parallel compilation with fail_on_any crashing altool 17.x on agents without an attached console ("The handle is invalid") (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: fix bc_version NextMajor / NextMinor on Linux and macOS agents failing with "downloaded package is corrupt" — BC artifacts are now unpacked with 7zz / 7z / 7za or Expand-Archive on non-Windows agents (GitHub #995) (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: artifact unpack errors now include the underlying exception message instead of the generic "corrupt" text (v3)
ALOpsAppCompiler: MS symbol resolution falls back to the W1 package (Microsoft.Application.symbols) when the feed has no localized package for the country, e.g. IE (GitHub #999) (v3)
