Pre-release FAQs

What are alpha builds?

Alpha builds are community previews of our upcoming products that aren’t as mature as a typical beta. Alphas offer early adopters the chance to get early access and get a jump start on helping us improve the products

What are nightly builds?

Nightly builds are iterative releases of a particular software product, meant to encourage feedback and provide quick fixes for reported defects. In some cases defects may be fixed by the next day

How can I be notified of updates?

Your ApexSQL software product will automatically check for updates with each new session. Other options for checking new release availability include:

Please note: Nightly builds should be updated every 24 hours

How can I report problems and provide feedback?

Please send any bugs, issues, problems and/or general feedback to support@apexsql.com

How can I find out what has changed in the current release? Where are the release notes?

See the Version information page for release notes

Can I install an experimental or an alpha build on the same PC as the production version?

Yes, just install the pre-release in a new, empty folder
