What are nightly builds?

• Nightly builds are binaries compiled from the latest source code, automatically, whenever there are any changes to the main branch (unified).
• It's pretty close to a rolling release, and that's all we've got for now - there are no plans for a stable release in the near future.
• However, the nightly builds can now be considered somewhat stable, and if something important breaks, it's usually fixed quickly if you report the issue.

What are the disadvantages of nightly builds?

• You may be running untested code. New developments now happen in branches, and what ends up in the nightly builds is usually tested by the developers on at least 2 or 3 camera models. However, we no longer have the time and resources to test every new feature on every camera model.
• Some features may not work as expected - please report bugs here.
• No documentation - the only help for new features is a small line of text, and ML source code.
• No guarantees - if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces.

Download Nightly Builds

If you'd like to help, here are the steps for getting started:

1. Get the source code:
   git clone https://github.com/reticulatedpines/magiclantern_simplified
2. Magic Lantern should compile on Linux, Mac, or Windows via WSL.
   On a Debian system, the required packages are: git build-essential gcc-arm-none-eabi python3 python3-docutils python3-setuptools zip
3. To build for e.g. the 99D, be in platform/99D.101 and run make -j8
4. Start hacking!
