Snapshot builds
From webtreesWiki
Snapshot builds are generated automatically from the latest SVN development code. Although sometimes described as "nightly", they are generated every 48 hours.
Snapshot builds are identified with SVN version numbers, which are often referenced in bug fix reports. They can be downloaded from https://launchpad.net/webtrees/+download.
As well as the latest code, fixes and features, they may also contain:
- coding errors
- incomplete or partial changes
- experimental or broken features
- bugs that can destroy your data
- changes that cannot be easily reversed/upgraded/downgraded
They are intended for use by our beta-testers, who need access to the latest code and fixes. They are not intended for use on live sites.
Dispite these warnings, they do tend to be reasonably stable and usable. If you decide to use these on your live site (many people do), then you must make regular backups and be prepared to restore from them.
