I know that it can't be \"in\" haxe since if you have a broken build you're done for.\r\nJust _with_ haxe, the ability to switch haxe versions once installed is really, really nice for active developers, and opens the doors for others to test well ahead without uprooting their entire dev stack to do so, when they don't understand the details involved in all the steps it becomes insurmountable to even care.\r\n\r\nSo if I understand correctly then - the \"nightly\" link I put - that's the output of hxbuilds already. All I meant really : \"latest possible prebuilt version as a zip file to easily download and set as current\". \r\n\r\nIn even other words : I don't want to be building haxe myself from the git version ever, just use it. I want a prebuilt one of the latest available std+compiler. The hxbuilds ones are frequent enough I've found, unless I am testing an extremely bleeding edge change which is more uncommon.\r\n\r\n\r\n"}}
