Nightly or beta builds
-
Hello, are there nightlies, or beta builds I can play with and test new features?
-
@Deejavu: These are called Snapshots. They are released about once a week or so.
-
@Deejavu: They are released on the blog: https://vivaldi.com/blog
-
@Ayespy so this https://vivaldi.com/blog/snapshots/vivaldi-1-8rc-1-vivaldi-browser-snapshot-1-8-770-44/ is newer then the stable ? it's confusing me because the stable version is 1.8.770.50 and snapshop is 1.8.770.44 ?
-
@Deejavu Usually are the same (rc1 is older, rc2 is the latest); stable is higher in number as it is built after the latest snapshot
-
@Deejavu: The Stable builds are just repackaging of the acceptable RC build from the snapshots. About one every six weeks or so. The repackaging increments the build numbers so that a stable build is the highest number build for just a few days until the next snapshot comes out. Then all the snapshots are higher numbers until one of them gets qualified to go stable, etc.
-
@Deejavu For the next couple days, nothing except the secret backstage test builds (which come out pretty much daily) is newer than the stable. But the next snapshot should be a 1.9 build. We are testing 1.9 builds backstage right now. I'm posting from one. Are you jealous?

@Steffie: Heh. I have headaches. You're jealous of them. But to be fair, I did volunteer, so...

To become a Soprano, one kind of has to be invited/referred. Everybody wants to be one, but as @Gwen-Dragon says, you need some knowledge plus a positive reputation. Out of some million users or so, there are only (I think) about 80 of us. But @gaelle will at least look at what any applicant may have to offer.

@gaelle If you are reading this, I would like to request myself to become a Soprano!
