Overview
A release framework for local-first Windows desktop applications. Defines what a release is, how it is verified, and what documentation it requires — so that someone who did not build the application can understand what changed, why it changed, and how to verify the artifact they received.
Adoption Guide
Use DRS for desktop applications that produce installable or distributable releases.
Validation Checklist
This checklist separates DRS suite conformance from desktop application release validation. The suite checks confirm that the DRS folder satisfies SFDS v1.0. The release checks confirm that an adopter desktop application release satisfies DRS.
Changelog
1.0.2 - 2026-06-11
Schema Reference
DRS ships one standard-suite manifest (DRS.manifest.toml) and one adopter-facing project manifest schema (DesktopApplicationRelease.manifest.schema.toml).
