> For anyone wishing to try it, make sure you grab a nightly

Might be helpful to explain why someone should run a nightly build of something as critical as a terminal :D

I'm running WezTerm stable currently, so am curious.

 help



Users are encouraged to use the nightly:

Of course you don't need to install the new nightly on a daily basis. But running stable from early 2024 you're probably missing some (mostly invisible) improvements.

There was also a thread somewhere explaining why there won't be a new stable release soon. IIRC, it had to do with completing a list of tasks, some of which had some blockers outside the control of Wez. Unfortunately, I can't spot the thread.
