An excerpt from the log with debug level enabled (for some reason every line in my log is doubled, but I removed the duplicates here):

You are correct. We have created task to fix this issue and roll out updated version soon. Thanks for letting us know!

[gaohan137]

This fix is written up and will be released in next release of host agent.

So, has this been released yet?

Btw, if changing this value to 1 or 0 will superfluous copies be automatically deleted?

[vvavepacket]

was this released?

[Constantin07]

any updates ?

Hi,

We are currently working on the fix. The deployments will fail because the agent will not start with the max_revisions set to 0. Right now only integers 1 or greater work.

Thank you

@mxro Superfluous copies will not be automatically deleted immediately. They will be deleted at the beginning of the next deployment.

Hi,

Through many talks with managers, we have concluded we do not plan on supporting setting max_revision to 0 because of rollbacks and other functionality that relies on this. There are ways to work around this if you'd like. you can turn on the setting to ignore ApplicationStop failures and use a script to remove all old deployments.

Thank you
