Cyndicate Cutting Edge

Starting with the 1.0.4 beta that was posted earlier today, Cyndicate now has the option to check for cutting edge builds as well as the releases. You can choose which type of update to check for in the Updates Preference pane. Most users should use the release updates option. Only use the cutting edge option if you are comfortable running beta software.

The Release Updates option acts just like updating always has. It will notify you on any of the release versions of Cyndicate. These are the main builds that you normally see and get posted to sites like VersionTracker or Apple’s download page.

The Cutting Edge option is for beta releases. It will contain builds that have the bug fixes and new features that will appear in the next release, minus features we might want to surprise you with. Non-release updates that appear in it should be considered beta quality meaning they may contain bugs or issues that are new features and/or side effects of other bug fixes. I will try to ensure that nothing catastrophic will result from the builds, but you are using them at your own risk.
