kBridge maintains multiple versions for several reasons:
1 - You can opt to work in the kBridge version that is best for an app that you have developed
2 - If the addition of new features or fixes is to your liking, you can opt to work in the latest kBridge environment, with the assurance that you can revert if a new version causes a breaking change in your app
3 - If you are working in an industry or with an app that requires closely-tracked and documented software development, you can meet version tracking mandates. You can opt to move to a later kBridge version once you have proven (offline) that the new version is safe and efficacious.
kBridge is updated regularly, and you should be notified with each update.
Determining Which Version You Are Using
Hover your mouse over the kBridge logo at the upper left of the kBridge environment.
3 URLs to Reach 3 Version Types
Engineering Intent maintains 3 URL types that allow users to access version types of kBridge in 3 ways:
1. Standard URL types to access the latest official release (if you are a long-time kBridge user, this is the URL you have always used)
2. "Latest" URL types to access the latest version (most likely NOT an official release)
3. V-#-#-# URL types to access a specific version
URLs to Official Releases
To access the most recent official release of kBridge, use the URLs you have always used:
https://knowledgebridge.engineer – the released kBridge Rule authoring environment
https://run.kowledgebridge.engineer – the released kBridge runtime environment
https://api.knowledgebridge.engineer – the released kBridge APIs
https://identity.knowledgebridge.engineer – the released kBridge identity service (for those using kBridge APIs)
URLs to the Latest Version
To access the very latest update, which is most likely not an official release, use the following URLs:
https://latest.knowledgebridge.engineer – the latest kBridge Rule authoring environment
https://latest-run.kowledgebridge.engineer – the latest kBridge runtime environment
https://latest-api.knowledgebridge.engineer – the latest kBridge APIs
https://latest-identity.knowledgebridge.engineer – the latest kBridge identity service (for those using kBridge APIs)
URLs to a Specific Version
To access any version that has been deployed, enter that version into one of the following URL templates (NOTE: use hyphens, not dots in the specific-version URLs):
https://v#-#.knowledgebridge.engineer - the kBridge Rule authoring environment for the version
https://v#-#-run.knowledgebridge.engineer - the kBridge runtime environment for the version
https://v#-#-api.knowledgebridge.engineer - the kBridge APIs for the version
https://v#-#-identity.knowledgebridge.engineer – the kBridge identity service for the version (for those using kBridge APIs)
In the URLs above the hashes are replaced with the major, minor, and patch numbers for the version desired, for example, "https://v1-3-496.knowledgebridge.engineer".
Again, NOTE that you use hyphens, not dots, to access a specific kBridge version.
