MintPress v4 Overview
This document is about MintPress version 4 (MintPress v4), if you are after documentation for MintPress version 3 (MintPress v3), please refer MintPress version 3 Documentation
MintPress version 4 (MintPress v4) provides all the functionality of MintPress version 3 (MintPress v3), along with a host of new features and capabilities, most notably the introduction of OpsChain, our next generation control plane to run and manage its workload.
OpsChain is a central control plane to unify and manage change. Based on GitOps-principles, it provides all the core underlying capabilities of the platform. It enables organisations to define, execute, and manage change across on-premise, hybrid, and multi-cloud environments in a consistent, auditable, and repeatable way.
MintPress v4 leverages OpsChain as its core underlying engine, providing it with the core orchestration and run-time execution capabilities. MintPress builds on top of it to provide all the overarching capabilities for managing the automation and configuration of Oracle technology. In MintPress, projects, environments, assets, and actions are used to manage infrastructure, application, and configuration changes, and is natively integrated into the OpsChain platform.
Throughout this documentation, we use the terms MintPress and OpsChain interchangeably.
MintPress v4 Release Naming Convention
Historically, MintPress releases used a dot-version format, e.g., 3.16, with rollups on top of those versions.
Starting with MintPress v4, releases follow two separate naming conventions:
- MintPress SDK:

YYYY-MM-DD
In the future, these naming conventions are planned to be merged for consistency.
