Hi, Is it just me or are the nightly builds updated really frequently, like multiple times per day? It's getting hard to keep up! Adam Bryzak

Frequent builds are very helpful for figuring out when regressions happened, and also they let people try new features and fixes soon. I am not aware of associated problems that could outweigh these benefits. Do you have some specific need to try each nightly build? Making them rarer is undesirable, but perhaps we could come up with some other solution then. - WBR, Alexey Proskuryakov
No that's fine, I was really just curious as to why there were so many each day. I was mainly wondering if there's some sort of pattern to their release. Adam Bryzak On 2006-10-20, at 7:07 PM, Alexey Proskuryakov wrote:

Adam, There's no real pattern to the builds. I tend to build new "nightly" releases whenever I notice an interesting change get landed, or whenever I have some idle CPU cycles. As Alexey mentions, having access to built historical copies of WebKit makes tracking down regressions to a narrow time frame possbile. Cheers, Mark Rowe
