February 2026 — Delivered Add-in Versioning and Draft PR Workflow for dotnet/razor, introducing add-in versioning updates and the ability to create draft pull requests to streamline collaboration and code reviews. The work enhances release governance and accelerates iteration cycles with improved governance over add-in lifecycles. No major bugs fixed this month; the focus was on delivering a core feature that reduces review bottlenecks and enables safer, earlier feedback. Technologies demonstrated include .NET/Razor, add-in architecture, Git versioning and PR workflows, and cross-team collaboration.

September 2025 (dotnet/razor): Focused on release readiness and packaging stability. Delivered Version Bump to 18.1 to prepare for the next Razor release by updating VsixVersionPrefix to 18.1.1 and AddinMajorVersion to 18.1. Also updated 18.0.P2 snapshot configs to align build pipelines with the new versioning. No explicit bug fixes recorded this month; primary impact was reducing release risk and speeding up time-to-market for 18.1 features once ready. Technologies demonstrated include versioning strategy, VSIX packaging, configuration management, and release governance. Business value: smoother deployments, improved compatibility, and clearer release milestones.

Release engineering focus for dotnet/razor (2025-02). Key action: Visual Studio extension patch readiness by bumping VsixVersionPrefix from 17.14.2 to 17.14.3 to prepare for the 17.14p2 patch, ensuring compatibility with the 17.14p2 snap. The work included release config updates for the 17.14p2 snap (commit: d1f287f143f2f12437db9e5323cc3b477c4ab0b7). No major bugs fixed this month.
