    ZVM (https://github.com/tristanisham/zvm) is a good alternative to keep uptodate with Zig nightly versions and also quickly switch to a stable version when needed.

    I tried out zvm (Zig Version Manger) on my Mac laptop earlier today, seems to work even if it’s not super polished:

    If you’re interested in trying Zig out and want an easy way to update/use multiple versions I’ve been working on a Zig Version Manager for the past few weeks.

    It works on Windows, Mac, Linux, a smattering of BSD’s and Plan 9. Arm and x86.

    > One big downside is losing the ability to build any commit from source without meta-complexity creeping in. For example, let’s say that you are trying to do git bisect. At some point, git checks out an older commit, but the script fails to build from source because the binary that is being used to build the compiler is now the wrong version. Sure, this can be addressed, but this introduces unwanted complexity that contributors would rather not deal with.

    If it's the main concern of using a prior build of the compiler, an alternative solution is to develop a tool for contributors to automate and ease the process. For example, Rust has this: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo-bisect-rustc

  • Cross v0.2.2 Released

    Finally, https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo-bisect-rustc/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md can bisect Nightlies or (if recent enough, I think CI artifacts are kept 3 months) PRs to tell you one introduced a problem.
