Thanks for coming to check out this feature. Before we start, we must cover the essentials.

Critical warnings: please read


This branch contains unfinished features and bugs.

This branch is temporary and is backed by temporary servers. As such:

No boards or campaigns from the main branch are available.
Everything made on this branch will be destroyed at the end of the testing period.
Data may be cleared with very little notice if it aids in testing that brings the features closer to release.
We will not be attempting to recover anything lost in the course of testing unless it helps in fixing the provoking bugs.
We do not guarantee any slabs will work from the main branch or vice versa. Often they will, but we likely will not be providing support for things damaged by moving slabs between branches.


If any of the above is an issue for you, please do not try this beta.

Reporting Bugs


This branch is all about the bugs, so we have set up a temporary bug reporting channel for reporting problems specific to this branch.
