The Nightly Builds

From HwdMediaShare Documentation

The Nightly Builds are exactly the same as the Official Releases, except that they are automatically created and published every day. This makes the Nightly Builds great for accessing the very latest code, bugfixes and features however, it also means they can be unstable. The Nightly Builds may or may not work, they are snapshots of the software and are created automatically. We don't check that Nightly Builds will install or work properly. Therefore, don't bother downloading nightly builds if you're unwilling to put up with problems. Official versions of hwdMediaShare are published every few weeks and these versions are tested before release to ensure they install correctly.
