## Beta Testing
Be the first to help test new features and improvements and provide feedback! There are regular `:unstable` builds for easy access. That's for the tinkerers and the breave. Ideally use a testing environment first, before a release be the first to install it on your main system.
There is always something that can get missed during development. Look at the commit messages tagged with `#build`, these are the unstable builds and give a quick overview what has changed.
- Test the features mentioned, play around, try to break it.
- Test the update path by installing the `:latest` release first, the upgrade to `:unstable` to check for any errors.
- Test the unstable build on a fresh install.
Then provide feedback, if there is a problem but also if there is no problem. Reach out on [Discord](https://tubearchivist.com/discord) in the `#beta-testing` channel with your findings.
This will help with a smooth update for the regular release. Plus you get to test things out early!
