Experimental

The most current version on github is called the experimental version, or trunk. It is the version actively being developed, and the version for which we try to keep the wiki up to date.

C:DDA does have an automatic build system that creates new experimental versions (called builds) every day there are changes (i.e., pull requests on github being merged). Or you can build it yourself. All of these are called experimental versions. Don't try to differentiate on the wiki between different experimental builds. That just makes it confusing for people reading it later. (And don't even refer to the experimental version directly. Use Template:ver or Template:InlineVer for that, so it gets automatically updated when there is a new release.)

Where to get it

There are several ways to get the most recent experimental builds.

Compile it yourself

See How to compile for some outdated instructions. Better is to check COMPILING.md, if you need help you can ask on the forums or the IRC channel. But don't expect people to hold your hand.

Experimental Builds

These versions are built each time a push is merged with the GitHub repository. They are the latest development builds available and are in no way guaranteed to be stable, or to support your current save game / world. (However, frequently they are just as stable as the "Stable" versions, if not more so, and there is some effort to keep saves compatible.) Use at your own risk.

Why is there no build number X for my OS?

Sometimes there can be an experimental build for one OS and not for the other, this is due to the automatic build process failing for one specific OS. Don't worry, it will be fixed, and a new build will be up later (Can take some time however, but the developers try to keep all the automatic build processes working.

What has changed

To see what has changed recently you can look at the recently merged pull requests, or look at the recent Jenkins changes to see what has changed for each specific experimental build.

What is this page? I wanted a list of changes for the latest experimental build

This is a page describing what the experimental build is. Not what has recently changed.

Item Browser

The links to the stable item browser don't work!

Yeah, newly added items in the experimental version are not on the stable version of the item browser - only on the development version.
