In the past 30 days, we’ve released 6 updates: https://openpanel.com/statistics
That’s an average turnaround of just 5 days for bug fixes. Do you know any other control panel that moves that fast? I’ll wait. 😎
Even with this release pace, some users are still asking if they can get fixes earlier: before official releases. For example, the upcoming 1.7.50 version already includes a large number of bug fixes: https://github.com/stefanpejcic/OpenPanel/blob/main/website/docs/changelog/1.7.50.md#-bug-fixes
So it’s understandable that people want those patches as soon as possible.
That’s why, starting today (March 27, 2026), we’re introducing a BETA nightly build. This version is automatically built every night from the latest unreleased code (and includes everything you see on the Changelog for upcoming version).
⚠️ Important: This version is intended for testing purposes only. We do not recommend using it on production servers.
