Already had v1.9.1445.0 updated several days ago, and just today had update come down from store for a version 1.9.1523.0. The "About" screen shows the newer 1.9.1523.0 version, the recent activity in the store for downloads and updates also shows the new 1.9.1523 version, yet the store page itself still reports it as v1.9.1445.0.

It is not readily apparent where this build came from given there are no matching tags/releases in the github repo.

Yeah sometimes the store release comes before the tags/releases in the Github repo.

where this build came from

Well, if you really want to know the answer, the build actually came from Microsoft internally. The Github repo does not contain all the needed things. There's a bunch of things needed inside Microsoft (for example, signing, localization, packaging, etc.) to publish a new release.

Yes, sorry. I usually only tag the release after it's up on the store.

The delta you'll be interested in is v1.9.1444.0..release-1.9. Everything's there in the commit history for the 1.9 branch.

I suspected there may have been some other internal repo at Microsoft that was possibly ahead for commits or had unique items necessary for the store interaction. The confirmation and hearing the great explanation/background is very helpful. I appreciate the quick response from both of you. Thank you very much.

I did try to search first to determine the release flow/pipeline for projects like this, to see if it was documented prior to submitting this question, and do apologize if I missed that somewhere.

This can be closed as far as I am concerned (feel free to re-open if needed for other aspects). Even without the changelog itself yet there, being able to at least review the changes direct from the commits is helpful.

Sorry about the miscommunication! The releases actually are built totally out of this repository :)

There are a couple overlay files but this is the only repository that we use.
