Is there a mapping of the winget-cli release to the DesktopAppInstaller msix version?

[byjrack]

The patch looks to be in-sync so like cli 1.6.3133 maps to msix 1.21.3133.0.

Is it as easy as +5 to the minor? Just helps me document a bit since the Get-Appx will show the msix version while the --version endpoint shows cli version and folks are getting a bit confused.

There is not an exact mapping. @denelon discusses the reason the versions are different in the recent Open At Microsoft - WinGet Community Repository Frequently Asked Questions video. The short answer is found in the Community FAQ - WinGet is bundled with AppInstaller, but is a separate application from AppInstaller

Cool I was trying to be a bit deterministic based on seeing the patch seemingly in lock step, but I didn't go and check them all to see if that held true. I get the reasons that they have independent versions it was more if the version of cli influenced the version of dai in a consistent way.

Yes, the same "internal" build used for App Installer is used for publishing the signed version we release here. The "patch" versions will be the same.
