Synchronized releases for cross-platform apps​

For teams with apps built in cross-platform stacks like React Native and Flutter, we now support synchronized release trains across both platforms.

• This allows teams to run their releases from a single branch.
• You get centralized control over both the stores.
• This also ensures all changes get applied to both platforms, but also gives you the nuance to apply selective changes to either platform when needed.

Since there can be cases where there is a drift between what is shipped to one store over another, we also cut platform-specific tags to disambiguate the commits.

Changes since last release​

The changes in your app since the last release are now visible on the live release page to provide context on what all is getting shipped in the current release.

Build notes​

Well-formed, sanitized commit messages since the last good build are now available as test notes in Slack, Firebase App Distribution and TestFlight.

Train setup wizard​

We know how setting up the integrations and release trains can be a bit tricky to navigate. So we now have a quick wizard that helps you get started on your very first release train.

Automatic finalization​

We have couple of enhacements towards the end of a release.

1. Tramline automatically starts wrapping up the release and starts the finalization process (cutting tags, creating PRs, locking the release etc.) as soon as the release step finishes.
2. For the Almost Trunk branching strategy, we create and merge a PR at the end to get all your release branch fixes back to the working branch.

Versioning changes​

We now support a partial SemVer scheme like MAJOR.MINOR along with MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. Additionally, Tramline used to bump up versions for every commit that would land on the release branch. This has now changed to bump up versions (either minor or patch, depending on your strategy) only during hotfixes, i.e. commits that are landed during a production rollout.
