Trunk

Trunk-only: This article pertains to a feature of Crawl which is being tested. It will likely change before the next release, and may even be removed entirely.

Between stable releases, the bulk of Crawl development occurs in trunk. These publicly available trunk builds allow users to preview and playtest new features, balance changes, and bug fixes, but the experimental code changes may also produce bugs (which may be severe). Unlike more experimental code branches, most of the changes that meet with developer and player approval are likely to make their way into the next stable release.

Players can follow changes via:

• Version development summary
• Git commits
• Simplified commit summary

Discuss and debate future development:

• The Tavern (official forum)
• Dev wiki on CDO
• Dev wiki on GitHub
• Dev mailing list and archive
• IRC: ##crawl on Freenode
• IRC: ##crawl-dev on Freenode
