Gerald Versluis edited this page Oct 8, 2021 · 5 revisions

Master branch builds are made available nightly on this feed, giving you the very latest bug fixes and improvements. Please give it a whirl and provide your feedback to help us improve.

Handle with Care
Nightly builds differ from our pre-release builds. These raw, bleeding edge builds may be below the normal standard of a pre-release. In order for a nightly build to succeed it must pass a suite of automated tests. It has received no additional testing.

Nightly builds enable a closer feedback loop with you, our community, as we strive for quality. It also allows you to test and review changes and features that will appear in the next pre-release.
