Dated snapshots
We frequently publish builds from many different branches. Subscribe to the sldev-commits mailing list or look at the list archives. Library and source tarball URLs appear at the bottom of each viewer branch's commit messages.
Branching process
The "branch" column indicates what branch the source was pulled from in Linden Lab's internal source repository, as well as the version number. This is helpful in determining how and when to do merges. See source branches page for more information about this.
Note that the dated releases (e.g. 20070117a) are sourced from the working trunk (the "release" branch), and the numbered releases (e.g. 1.13.2.xx) are to sync with the official viewer releases.
