I cannot find artifacts for 4.4.1 in appveyor

[marlonchosky]

Hello. I want to load the symbols from version 4.4.1 but I can't find its artifacts. I have searched here https://ci.appveyor.com/project/castleproject/core/build/4.4.1/artifacts but I haven't found it.

You have looked in the right place. I suppose the reason that the symbols are no longer there is AppVeyor's current artifacts retention policy (introduced about 2 years ago, IIRC), which states that build artifacts will be deleted after 6 months.

That's unfortunate, and something we should keep in mind when migrating our CI from AppVeyor to GitHub Actions (#497).

1. But the artifacts from version 4.4.0, which I understand are older than 4.4.1, can be viewed on AppVeyor :/
2. So are you planning to migrate to GitHub Actions? If that is the case, when you do this migration, do not forget to put it in the documentation please.

I suspect those are still around because the build ran before the new artifact retention policy was introduced.

Yes, that's the plan.

Sure.

Ok, so that's what surely happened.

Great, thank you for the answers 👍

We should stop relying on symbols being available for releases on our CI server and instead publish symbols with NuGet now that there is a better story for symbols.
