The Joomla! developers work continually on improving Joomla! as they prepare new releases. Every day at midnight CET/CEST a package containing up to date revisions is created and is available for download.
Where do I get the nightly build?
Access to the nightly build is available through the Joomla! developer site.
How do I install the nightly build?
In most cases, you can unzip the package and overwrite your files. However, you should check the changelog file in case there has been a change to the database. This depends a lot on the stage in the development cycle of the release. Early on, pre-RC you can expect a lot of changes. After a stable release, there generally will not be changes.
Should I use the nightly build?
If you are willing to tolerate the risk of potential new problems, the nightly builds will give you solutions to old issues. However, nightly builds have not been through the quality testing that happens when there is a formal new release.
If you test a nightly build you can become an active part of the quality and testing process by posting any issues you find in the Q & T forum for 1.0.x and 1.5.
What's the difference between a nightly build and subversion?
The nightly build pulls what is in subversion once a day.
