About the nightly versions

Postby RHW The What » Sat Nov 27, 2021 10:39 am

On the nightly builds website, I see 2 different downloads:

"FlightGear-2020.4.0-nightly.exe", and
"FlightGear-latest-nightly.exe"

What's the difference?

if they are the same size, none...

the main reason for having two with similar names is to make scripting updates easier... you just always request the FlightGear-latest-nightly for your OS and you get the latest nightly without having to figure out the version number in the file name...

"Dunno. It's frightened of heights, I guess."
