Experimental Builds

Special builds of Cantabile that contain new fixes, improvements and changes that may cause stability problems.

The purpose of the experimental builds are:

To ensure that a new feature sufficiently solves a problem
To ensure a better level of testing before rolling changes into the official build

Please note the following about the experimental builds:

They are more likely to contain bugs that may cause stability problems.
They will usually be labeled with the same build number as the currently released version.
They will usually have had very little testing done.
They don't include an setup program - just a zip of the executable that should copied over the installed version. You can also run the executable from a different folder however file association won't necessarily use that version (unless you go into Options -> General and click the Associate button).
After an official build, the experimental builds may actually be one version behind the official build.
There are no release notes associated with the experimental builds, though usually the Cantabile Development Blog will contain details on what's changed.
if an experimental build does cause you trouble, you can always just download the official build and reinstall.
A new or changed feature in an experimental build may never end up in an official build.

So, at your own risk, here they are:

Please report all faults, or if a new feature sufficiently solves a problem please let us know.
