This would be a handy feature.

Currently I'm using this for semantic versioning:

branches:
  only:
    - /v\d+\.\d+\.\d+((-beta.\d+)|(-\d+))?/

CircleCI, Travis CI, and Jenkins all offer this feature. Why not AppVeyor?

@pklauzinski we plan to do it soon

As a workaround in the meantime, I am using PowerShell to match conditionally on the tag name we use for releases in my build configuration.

build_script:
  - ps: >-
      if ($env:APPVEYOR_REPO_TAG_NAME -match '^release-') {
        ...
      }
