1.1.0.712-preview2 Pre-release
Pre-release

Adds a new --downgrade-first switch, which is useful if you need to "downgrade" a Xamarin.Android installation, for example. This reverts a previously installed .vsix to the one shipped in the Visual Studio installer -- then installs your desired .vsix.

VS 2022 and VS Mac Alpha channel support

On Windows, builds are now fetched via:

If you want to get the latest builds for VS 2019, you will need to install previous versions of boots such as 1.0.4.624.

On macOS, the new --alpha switch enables newer builds than --preview:

$ boots --alpha Xamarin.Android
$ boots --alpha Xamarin.iOS
$ boots --alpha Xamarin.Mac
$ boots --alpha Mono

This is useful for getting builds on macOS that haven't made it to the preview channel yet. Currently, Visual Studio previews on Windows has more recent versions of Xamarin.Android that match the alpha channel on macOS.

Dropped support for .NET Core 2.1

This version of .NET Core is end of life. You can continue to use previous versions of boots such as 1.0.4.624 on .NET Core 2.1.

New features: Network Resiliency

CI systems are somewhat notorious for random networking failures.
Starting in boots 1.0.4, you can control some of this behavior:

  --timeout <seconds>               Specifies a timeout for HttpClient. If omitted, uses the .NET default of 100 seconds.
  --read-write-timeout <seconds>    Specifies a timeout for reading/writing from a HttpClient stream. If omitted, uses a default of 300 seconds.
  --retries <int>                   Specifies a number of retries for HttpClient failures. If omitted, uses a default of 3 retries.

This can also be defined in a Cake script with the
BootsSettings class:

var settings = new BootsSettings {
    Channel = ReleaseChannel.Stable,
    Product = Product.XamarinAndroid,
    Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds (100),
    ReadWriteTimeout = TimeSpan.FromMinutes (5),
    NetworkRetries = 3,
};
await Boots (settings);

Include the -dumplog switch for the installer command when installing .pkg files on macOS. This should give much better logging information for failures.
