Daily Builds

Daily Builds are the latest copies of the installer +
CMS + Sapphire. They reflect what is currently in
Subversion. Being the most recent code, Daily
Builds are less stable.

Daily Builds are created just before midnight (GMT + 12:00) and are available from
http://dailybuilds.silverstripe.com

Daily Builds FAQs

Should I install or upgrade the Core?

It's best to run the installer in a fresh location. If you just want to upgrade an already-installed SilverStripe website, then download the .tar.gz and extract cms, jsparty, and sapphire and override your existing folders. Leave the other stuff (e.g., install.php, etc.); you don't need need to copy them into your existing system.

How do I see what has changed day by day?

In the source folder, and inside each tarball are a number of files called "changelog.xxxx". These are automatically generated files:

"today" shows changes that happened in the preceding 24 hours since the prior dailybuild. Sometimes this will be empty.

"sincestable" shows changes since the last stable release.

There is a seperate file for the installer, cms, sapphire, and jsparty, making it easier for you to track differences for the different areas of SilverStripe.

How do I recall which dailybuild my site is running?

There's a file called silverstripe_version in the sapphire, cms, and jsparty of each tar.gz, which contains the version in the format "2.0.1-dailybuild-2007-03-28". Also, the installer looks at this file and displays it.
