GIMP MSIX HowTo

Development releases

The MS Store/Partner Center hosts our development point releases: https://partner.microsoft.com/dashboard/products/9NZVDVP54JMR/overview

Base rule to update the "GIMP (Preview)" entry:

Regularly, a .msixupload will be generated at each tagged commit. It also can be with a custom pipeline valuating GIMP_CI_MS_STORE to MSIXUPLOAD_${REVISION}

Maintaining the MSIX

The link above will open 'Partner Center', the frontend to submit .msixupload
With your Microsoft Entra ID account (@*onmicrosoft.com), log-in as costumary
Clicking on the "Start update" button will make possible to change some things. Only 'Packages' and 'Store listings' sections are needed. On 'Packages' you will add the generated .msixupload and on 'Store listings' the brief changelog.

Versioning the MSIX

Every new .msixupload submission (with different content) needs a bumped version. But MS Store reserves revisions (the fourth digit after last dot) for its own use. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/publish/publish-your-app/msix/app-package-requirements So, our MSIX have a special micro versioning to we have revisions. Check the .ps1.
