NIGHTLY & MONTHLY BUILDS:
These are unstable pre-release builds and are not for the faint of heart. Expect there to be bugs! If you have issues and want to post about them/get help then you MUST include debug logs, etc.
Nightly builds:
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/win32/
Monthly snapshots:
Monthly snapshot builds are also available that are more stable than Nightly builds, but may still contain bugs and evolving features:
http://mirrors.xbmc.org/snapshots/win32/
As always, be sure to backup your userdata (wiki) folder regularly when playing with nightlies or monthlies.
You should be able to go back to stable XBMC v12 by installing over the nightly build, just as you would for an update, as long as you don't delete the older library DBs in your userdata folder. This may not always be true, so backup your userdata folder or consider running the nightly build in portable mode.
