Octopus 3.2

Highlights and new Features of 3.2

Octopus Deploy 3.2 is all about Channels and is a highly-compatible feature release with no breaking changes. Channels is the name we've given to the feature originally discussed in our RFC on Branching.

Build servers build. Octopus deploys.

We decided it was important to drive a distinction between source code branches, which build servers care about, and deployment, which is where Channels come in.

Read the upgrade guide for more details on upgrading from your current version to Octopus 3.2.
