Seek Feedback: Optimal Release Strategy for Extensions in Delphi IDE

[baoquan.zuo 26]

Hi, I’m reaching out to seek your valuable opinions and experiences regarding the release strategy for the upcoming major version of DocInsight.

 

There are 2 options:

1. Stable and Insiders with Side-by-Side Installations

- Users can simultaneously use both versions.

- Clear separation of stable and experimental features.

- User may have to choose different IDE instances to avoid conflict of menus, dockable forms, shortcuts, etc.
 

2. Stable, Beta, and Dev Channels with a Single Installation

- Simplified installation and maintenance.

- Unified settings and extensions, reducing conflicts.

- Easier for users to switch channels within the same IDE instance.

 

How do you think? What's your preferred approach? Thanks!
