Thanks

Builds are fixed, going to try and do a pass on open issues this week and I think we should just release....

What I did for now (need the 4.0 functionality also) is copied the choco version of gitversion 4 to the buildserver and then changed the gitversion.exe location as so:

This works and allows me to use the 4.0 version and also the normal plugin.

Two things need to be done:

Enable publishing a pre-release to the VSTS marketplace, when I setup the build you could only publish stable
Ensure mainline mode is ready and well enough documented

I want to do a sweep of issues and close as many legit bugs for v4 as I can then I will likely just release stable in the next week or so.

@JakeGinnivan Any chance this is going out soon. I just noticed the first beta was on June 20th last year. We would love to get our hands on this, it fixes a number of issues we're seeing with 3.6.5

@JakeGinnivan VSTS supports tasks with preview versions.. I don't see the issue in pushing the beta builds onto the marketplace as preview versions?
Let the consumer decide whether they want to use 3.* or 4.* beta...

EDIT:
For those of you that want to use 4.* in VSTS / TFS without having to add gitversion to source or install it on your build agent:

Add a nuget task with following settings:

Then set the GitVersion.exe in the GitVersion task to:

I opted for a variable which holds the version:

@pccoombe The latest latest version is not available indeed. But as you can see in my screenshot, 4.0.0-beta12 is
