Thanks for the quick reply. I am aware of the nightlies, I am just not familiar enough to set it up on my own.
> Ideally this would have been published already by now so that we can tell interested users to easily download it to get feedback Yes, that would be the case if I had a bit more time to spend. If the nightlies server is the right place, I'll create a Jira issue and seek support to set up a Jenkins job to start publishing three builds there, one for Windows, one for Unix, and one for MacOS. > I don't know the state of the thing; never tried it. That's unfortunate. The desktop client should be at the same state as the web-bundle available via the "New UI" option in the Admin UI. I believe we will soon have some useful functionality related to configset management. In that case it may not be ready to publish it together with Solr 10 as a working client yet, as it lacks basic functionality, but having a nightly build available would already be a big win.
