ISTR the website and/or the wiki had instructions being toggled depending on the current state of daily builds. Over the past few years, the last release has been mostly working fine (I might misremember because shitty memory), so I haven't looked into this kind of toggling. Instead of doing that right now, I'd rather concentrate on releasing, and then on keeping/restoring the release pace to the level we've been maintaining over the past few years. The pain for users should stop in a few days at most. KiBi.
