Automatic Development Builds

Automatic builds (sometimes called "nightlies") are generated at regular intervals by our Continuous Integration process. This allows to run the last version of our code, though be aware that it also means ⚠️ you would be running very experimental and not tested code! ⚠️
These builds are meant to test future GIMP versions and help us debug, we do not advise to use these for production.
