| [[Mozilla Suite]], [[Firefox]], and [[Thunderbird]] all have releases and release candidates: These are the versions, such as Mozilla Suite 1.0 or Firefox 1.0, announced on [http://mozilla.com/ Mozilla] and other websites and the ones you hear about. However, the code for these upstanding programs change daily, and developers check in new code everyday. To help developers find new bugs and fixes, the code is recompiled each night and these '''nightlies''' are uploaded to [http://ftp.mozilla.org/ Mozilla's servers]. As noted, these nightlies are usually filled with bugs, are generally unstable, and should be avoided for anything except testing if possible. | | #REDIRECT [[General concepts#Nightlies]] |
| | |
| However, if you want to get involved and want to help with development or bug triaging or filing bugs or patch writing or anything fun like that, using nightly are an excellent tool. This is the reason why [[Bugzilla | Mozilla's Bugzilla]] recommends users to use nightlies before reporting bugs because those bugs could have been already fixed in recent nightlies.
