Can't understand what is the nightly

• Mar 27, 2023 - 22:54

Hello,
This is the nightly builds name
[ ] MuseScoreNightly-latest-x86_64.7z 2023-03-27 05:31 89M
[ ] MuseScoreNightly-230860506-4.0.2-a45b9a5-x86_64.7z 2023-03-27 05:31 89M
[ ] MuseScoreNightly-230860304-master-9037421-x86_64.7z 2023-03-27 03:29 89M
[ ] MuseScoreNightly-230850506-4.0.2-a45b9a5-x86_64.7z 2023-03-26 05:36 89M
[ ] MuseScoreNightly-230850304-master-0a25455-x86_64.7z 2023-03-26 03:30 89M

This might be a silly question but i can't understand what the nighly version
MuseScoreNightly-230860506-4.0.2-a45b9a5-x86_64.7z
or
MuseScoreNightly-230860304-master-9037421-x86_64.7z

the name is always the same for 4.0.2, for me there has been no change for several days.

if nightly is master, for me this version has been crashing for several days

am i wrong if i say:
MuseScoreNightly-latest-x86_64.7z 2023-03-27 05:31 = MuseScoreNightly-230860506-4.0.2-a45b9a5-x86_64.7z (4.0.2)

Thank's for the help
Robert

No, you are correct :)

At least you are until the next nightly build is created. latest always points to the most recent one.

230860506 is a timestamp. It means year 2023, day-of-year 086, time 05:06 UTC.

(We can't fit a month number and a day-of-month number for technical reasons, hence the use of day-of-year. If you're curious, the reason is that the timestamp must fit in a 32-bit integer as required by the Wix packaging tool on Windows.)

The master build is where new features arrive. These builds change on a daily basis.

Versioned builds like 4.0.2 are where you might see a small emergency fix if one becomes necessary, but for the most part those builds are not expected to change.
