Prerelease - babsonnexus/stream-link-manager-for-channels GitHub Wiki

On occasion, there may be early, non-production ready versions of Streaming Library Manager made available for testing. Each of these is known as a "Prerelease" and is not generally accompanied by any announcement of a new version created, nor specifics of what is included. Some users may be directed to use these versions to test a requested element before they go live for everyone. Anyone may use these versions, as well; however, it will be at your own risk.

In order to use the Prerelease version, follow the directions below. Note that when you are using the Prerelease path, the Check for Upgrades functionality is disabled and you will not be alerted when a new version is available.
