Rider at a glance
Rider is a commercial integrated development environment for the .NET platform, aimed at teams building desktop, web, cloud and game projects across Windows, macOS and Linux. For administrators it typically appears when rolling the IDE out to developer workstations and when handling licensing and updates through the JetBrains Toolbox or unattended installer packages.
JetBrains ships Rider in fixed yearly cycles with several feature releases, alongside ongoing bug-fix and security updates within a given version. Version numbers follow a year.number scheme, which makes it easy to tell major jumps apart from intermediate builds.
When updating, keep in mind that feature releases can change project and cache formats and that installed plug-ins need to match the new version. In managed environments the update should be controlled centrally and validated with a pilot group before a wide rollout.
