Pre-release features
At Streamlit, we like to move quick while keeping things stable. In our latest effort to move even faster without sacrificing stability, we're offering our bold and fearless users two ways to try out Streamlit's bleeding-edge features:
Nightly releases
Beta and experimental features
Nightly releases
At the end of each day (at night 🌛), our bots run automated tests against the latest Streamlit code and, if everything looks good, it publishes them as the streamlit-nightly package. This means the nightly build includes all our latest features, bug fixes, and other enhancements on the same day they land on our codebase.
How does this differ from official releases?
Official Streamlit releases go not only through both automated tests but also rigorous manual testing, while nightly releases only have automated tests. It's important to keep in mind that new features introduced in nightly releases often lack polish. In our official releases, we always make double-sure all new features are ready for prime time.
