CI builds

In addition to the stable builds, a continuous integration system automatically publishes prebuilt artifacts on each push to the main repository.

These builds can be useful for testing unreleased changes, but are not intended for daily use, and are likely to crash more often than stable releases.

To download a build artifact, open the workflow run for the change you want to test, then download the archive for your target platform from the Artifacts section at the bottom of the run summary.
