The ghcr.io/workoho/devcontainers/m365-dev image offers several tags, catering to different needs for stability, updates,
and development cycles, as outlined below:
| Image Variant Tag | Update Cycle | Description |

As needed | Automatically tracks the most stable version, typically aligning with the v1 tag. Ideal for users seeking stability with recent features. |
weekly |
Weekly (Mondays) | A snapshot of the main branch as of the last automated build cycle, providing a regular, stable update rhythm. Suitable for environments that benefit from weekly updates without needing immediate changes from the main branch. |
main |
As needed | Reflects the current state of the main development branch. This tag is updated with manual builds for testing or immediate updates, offering the latest developments at any given time. |
v1 |
As needed | Tracks the latest updates within the major version 1, offering a balance between stability and new features. Recommended for most users. |
v1.x |
As needed | Targets a specific minor version within the major version 1, receiving only bug fixes and patches. Ideal for environments requiring minimal changes. |
