Release history and refresh estimates for bulk data downloads in the portal

Each licensed package in the portal's Downloads section shows its release history and when the next release is expected, and its current release is always a full supply.

Added

  • Each package in the developer portal's Downloads section has a Release history, shown once more than one release is held. It lists releases newest first with the supplier's publish date, the size, whether the release is a Full supply or Change-only, and whether it is Current or Preparing. Every file in an available release can be downloaded on its own, change-only files included. The history covers the releases held since the package was added to Downloads, not the supplier's whole back catalogue.
  • Once three releases are held, a package shows roughly how often it is refreshed and when the next release is expected. Both are estimated from the supplier's own publish dates, so treat the date as a guide rather than a commitment.
  • A package's licence status and expiry have their own place on its card.

Changed

  • The current release of a licensed package is always a full supply, so downloading it gives you the complete dataset. Change-only updates appear in the release history.
  • Licensed packages are checked for a new release from the supplier every day.
