<h4>Exciting news!!!</h4>
<p align="left">
FreeCol Nightly Releases are ready!
</p>
<p align="left">
Download an installer here:
<br/>
<a href="https://github.com/FreeCol/freecol/releases">https://github.com/FreeCol/freecol/releases</a>
</p>

Please let us know if it works or does not work. This is experimental and I'm running on Mac, so have only tested the Mac installer thus far.
<br/>
If you find bugs or annoyances, please report them to our bug tracker:

<h4>Nitty Gritty Technobabble stuff:</h4>

Nightly releases are initiated automatically whenever a merge is performed to the "slim" branch on Github. I'll change this later to a "prerelease" branch once we confirm everything works.
<br/>
The slim branch excludes srcdata and the website, so clones work much faster on this branch. I'll probably change the initiation of a nightly release cron to run once a day only if there are new commits, so that merges can be performed multiple times a day without triggering a release every time.
