Server Changelog

We are no longer maintaining this server change log. We may expose server change log in different ways in the future. You can find application change logs under admin portal, which can reflect 60~70% of server changes.

Since server version 18, we have switched to semantic versioning. Each week we will release one minor version and many patches. Major version depends on situation, it is no longer incremented by year. e.g. server v18 to v19 means database we use has been upgraded. There was major rewrite and require server migration. v19 to v20 is currently planned for server framework upgrade.

Our development cycle is called trunk based development (continue integration). We don't have any feature branch, any change we made are releasable. Which also means, for most of security issue or bugs, we can release fix in hours or days.

Here are our release notes for the latest version of the DD Server, version 18. 

There is a new server release schedule we are putting in place with v18. 

When a new server version is ready, it will be internally tested from that Monday in our internal servers. On the Wednesday of that week, it will be released to Australia/New Zealand. Then on the Monday of the next week, we will release to EU and all of US. This means that the servers mentioned on this article might be ahead of what you have, this is fine and you should be updated within a week.
