*Tag:* statuses

[*__since 1.4__*]

[ivysettings.statuses]#Defines the list of available statuses.#

By default, Ivy has 3 statuses: `release`, `milestone` and `integration`. By adding a statuses section to your Ivy settings file, you define the statuses you want to use. Note that in this case, if you still want to have Ivy default statuses, you will have to declare them.

The `integration` property on each status is only used for recursive delivery, an integration dependency being delivered if the caller is not in integration state itself.

The `default` status is the one used when none is defined in a module descriptor. If not specified, it defaults to the last defined status.

NOTE: The statuses order is important, the first is considered the more mature, the last the less mature. This is used to know if a status is compatible with a `latest._&lt;status&gt;_` version matcher.

----

<statuses default="bronze">
  <status name="gold" integration="false"/>
  <status name="silver" integration="false"/>
  <status name="bronze" integration="true"/>
</statuses>

----

Defines 3 statuses, `gold`, `silver` and `bronze`. The default status used when none is declared in an Ivy file will be `bronze`.
It is also considered an integration status, and thus doesn't trigger any recursive delivery.
