symbol resolution

On WindowsForum.com, symbol resolution refers to how development tools locate and restore the symbol packages that describe dependencies in a project. The tagged discussion centers on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and AL development, where restoring symbols can unexpectedly pull a dependency into a newer minor release. A Business Central roadmap item (ID 573357) proposes restricting global symbol resolution to the major and minor version declared in a project's app.json, while still allowing the newest patch for each dependency. The thread is relevant to AL developers managing version drift and keeping builds aligned with their intended release line.
