novolis-apps

Production desktop applications built exclusively from NuGet packages (PackageReference to Novolis.* on GitHub Packages). No in-repo shared libraries — each app under src/ is a complete project.

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/Novolis-Platform/novolis-apps.git
cd novolis-apps
..\novolis-governance\scripts\configure-gpr-user-nuget.ps1
dotnet restore
dotnet build --no-restore
dotnet run --project src/ManuscriptStudio

Releases

Every successful merge to main (non-doc paths) publishes a GitHub Release with:

• ManuscriptStudioSetup-{version}-win-x64.exe — Manuscript Studio installer (per-user, no admin)
• ManuscriptStudio-{version}-win-x64.zip — Manuscript Studio portable publish folder
• ConceptStudioSetup-{version}-win-x64.exe — Concept Studio installer
• ConceptStudio-{version}-win-x64.zip — Concept Studio portable publish folder
• SHA256SUMS.txt — checksums for all release assets

Version format: YEAR.MAJOR.MINOR.BUILD from build/version.json plus CI build number (e.g. 2026.1.0.42).

Manual republish: run the Release workflow from Actions, or locally:

pwsh -File scripts/build-installer.ps1
