What’s Changing?
We are introducing two release channels for Vivi to improve reliability and give you more control over how you experience new features:
-
General Availability (GA) Channel – For customers who want a consistent, reliable experience.
-
Preview Channel – For those who want early access to new features and innovations.
Why This Matters
Previously, every update included both bug fixes and new features. While exciting, this sometimes introduced unexpected issues. By separating these, we can:
-
Deliver bug fixes faster without waiting for new features to be ready.
-
Let you try new features early and share feedback before they go live.
-
Ensure the core Vivi experience stays consistent and predictable.
How It Works
Think of it like choosing between two types of train rides:
-
GA Channel – The express train: smooth, predictable, and focused on getting you there reliably.
-
Preview Channel – The innovation train: packed with new tech, occasional bumps, but exciting views.
You choose the ride that fits your needs.
Versioning Made Simple
-
GA Channel: Only the last number changes (e.g., 3.10.0 → 3.10.1 → 3.10.2). These are safe, bug fix updates.
-
Preview Channel: New features appear here first (e.g., 3.11.0 Preview), giving you a sneak peek and a chance to shape the future of Vivi.
