OctoPack 3.0 introduces significant updates aimed at improving the packaging process for users, particularly those using Team Foundation Server (TFS). The key enhancement is a shift from using $(OutDir) to @(FileWrites) and @(FileWritesShareable) for packaging binaries, which resolves file organization issues in TFS environments. Another major update is the elimination of the need to check OctoPack into version control, aligning with Microsoft.Bcl.Build's approach, and requiring a NuGet package restore prior to building. To address build issues that arise when the server cleans files before builds, a proactive NuGet Package Restore is recommended. In addition to these changes, several bug fixes and new features were introduced, including enhanced version detection and the ability to use custom file settings. These improvements largely stem from community contributions, with the commitment to more actively review submitted pull requests.
