Note: To know how to make your own personal Source Code Builds, see here: How to Test Builds on the Source Code Page.

What is this?

Dimitar and I add a number of new features between releases, and until now, the only way you could get these new features were to download the source code and compile it yourself.

However, not everyone knows programming, and so can't compile it on their own. So I made this page/service to post these source code builds.

This will be great for when someone has an issue that has been fixed in a build, but that is not yet in a release.

Instructions

You must have a BetterExplorer release installed first! (You can get a release on the Downloads page.)

1. Choose a build from the list below and download it.
2. Open the downloaded zip folder and extract all its contents into a new folder.
3. Double-click the BetterExplorer.exe file and there you go! :D

(To pin this build to the taskbar, simply drag the BetterExplorer.exe file onto the taskbar.)

Available builds

Note that not all builds on the Source Code page will be compiled and uploaded here. Only what I consider major builds will be placed here, or builds that fix an issue.

Your builds don't work. I installed Beta, then followed your instructions here. Better Explorer cannot start.

Only posted 91008 build. 90447 had a major bug.

I will upload 90447, as well as, because it will include everything in 90362, and some fixes. It will be called the Beta Pre-Release 1.

I will also upload 91008, and that will be Beta Pre-Release 2. These will be the last two Source Code Builds I make before the beta release.

The translation was not applied to all items. See http://bexplorer.codeplex.com/workitem/17926

Turkish translation is broken with latest build. Lots of strings are in english.

I will make a new build in zip form.
