The nightly release channel is a special build of our project that is automatically constructed every time a new commit is made to the master branch. This ensures that the nightly version always includes the latest changes, features, and bug fixes, even if they have not yet undergone thorough testing.
Within the nightly releases, there are two variants available:
- Normal Version: This is the standard build of the application.
- Debug Version: Identified with the
-debugprefix (e.g.,Seelen.UI_2.0.10+20241213134120_x64-setup-debug.exe), this version is specially tailored for developers and testers of themes, plugins, or widgets that the application supports.
- Early Feedback: By using the nightly channel, you can test the latest changes and provide feedback early in the development process.
- Rapid Iteration: Allows the team to quickly identify and address issues before they reach a wider audience in stable releases.
- Potential Instability: Nightly builds may contain incomplete features or unresolved issues.
- Not Production-Ready: These builds are intended for testing and feedback, not for use in production environments.
To access the nightly builds, enable the nightly release channel in the application settings:
- Navigate to Settings > Extras or Information > Update Channel.
- Select the Nightly option.
