Full Version: When is the Alpha going to be posted?

I read the news article at https://kodi.tv/article/kodi-v18-leia-alpha-1 excitedly, but the link at the bottom of the page to download it, just goes to the normal download page, which has zero reference to the alpha.  I assumed the link was going to get posted a bit later, but still there's nothing.  Is "alpha" just one of the nightlies?

I had to ask the same question.  It seems that the information written in that news post is inaccurate, saying you can find the alpha in a place where you actually can't and no one is going to fix it.

You can find all the Alpha snapshots there.
I have sent a request to have it fixed.
Are the nightlies not newer than the Alpha?
Nightlies preceding alpha 2 (at least for windows platform) have been posted since 09 Mar.

Thank you for the replies.  I was operating under the assumption that a release tagged "alpha" had a bit more testing than just something tagged "nightly".  As in, the alpha was good enough to give it a solid try out, but things could have completely destabilized on the very next nightly.

I missed your other thread DJ_Izumi.  Thanks for pointing it out.

 Don't worry, I wasn't trying to point out to you that you missed it.  I was hoping someone who maintains the website would instead notice since they didn't notice my own thread. :/
Don't feel bad, my request has been ignored also Wink
All you guys don't need to feel bad; i get ignored all the time Wink
I suppose if you were a donor, we might listen to you @Atreyu Rofl

Actually i meant the only place people listen to me is this forum :-p
The download pages have been updated to show the Pre-Release tabs.
