This is a start at documenting the package metadata in the feed, both what it means and how it is generated. It's not (yet) a complete list. We'll do our best to keep this up to date, but actual source code is always up-to-date, so we encourage you to look there as well.

  • IsAbsoluteLatest: Only in the v2 feed. This field will be true only if the package version is the latest version. Pre-release packages may be the latest version. Each time a new package version is added to the gallery, this flag is set to false for all versions of the package, then the flag is set to true for the latest version of the package (which might be a pre-release version).
  • IsLatest: This field will be true only if the package version is the latest stable version (i.e., the latest version that is not a pre-release version). Each time a new package version is added to the gallery, this flag is set to false for all versions of the package, then the flag is set to true for the latest version that is not a pre-release version.
  • IsPreRelease: Only in the v2 feed. This field will be true only if the package version is a pre-release version. This flag is set when the package version is added to the gallery, and does not change after that.
