Let me start by saying that I love the new version. However, the new version also came with the introduction of unpleasantly many new bugs. The problem being that for many of your average players, it is impossible to tell when the major ones of those bugs have been fixed while, hopefully, not too many new bugs have been introduced, making grabbing one of those nightly builds or compiling your own mostly a game of luck.
I would suggest releasing some sort of “patch” or a version that is considered to be (relatively speaking - I realize there will always be plenty of bugs at the current stage of development) stable after the release of a new major version.
This would, of course, require someone who is very well aware of the issues and which ones have been fixed. It might also require, if that is at all possible, to not include newer, untested features.
I am not sure if my suggestion is at all feasible or how much work it would require, but I am sure it would be much appreciated by a large portion of your player base. Thank you for your continued, dedicated work!
