Has the core team ever considered “nightly” releases? There’s not a ton of movement in core, but there’s more than gets released in alphas, and it might be helpful catching regressions

We can release snapshots from master now, we just rarely have need to do so. Generally we commit a set of patches just to do a release.

Is the SNAPSHOT build/deploy no longer run automatically like it used to every time there were commits to master?

(I have long had a :master alias in my user deps.edn to enable testing against the "nightly" builds -- and several of my OSS projects test against multiple Clojure versions including :master)

It’s no longer automatic

It’s fairly rare that it’s different from last release

Usually we commit a bunch of patches, and then do a release

You're not committing to master outside of releases as much as you used to, it's true. Is that ever likely to change back? Just thinking I might as well remove :master from my CI builds and just track :1.12 manually as each new release appears...

don't know

prediction is difficult, especially about the future

Heh, fair enough. Certainly, testing against :master these days is a bit of a waste of time 🙂
