Snapshot, it’s a thing! The big new feature in 2.7 is the ability to Snapshot an OMW project during the build process. What’s a Snapshot? Glad you asked. The Snapshot is a .par file of the project written out to the deployment server. How does it work? We made it configurable; define when to snapshot (pickup, processing, or complete) and from where (source path code) in the processing options.
We are excited to hear about the use case for Snapshot in your environment. Give us a shout over at support or on twitter.
You can download the latest and greatest version of Envoy in the support portal at our 2.7 downloads page, and for more details about the changes that made it in, see below.
