> Another thing @findepi has mentioned is potentially publishing "non
official" / "nightly" releases to crates.io to make it easier for downstream
projects to test pre-releases.
I don't think `crates.io` (or `cargo`) have support for a nightly release
concept? What we've done in lance, for Rust, is to create pre-release tags.
We still trigger them manually (e.g. it's not a nightly thing) but it's just a
button press and very low friction.
Downstream users have to then specify the dependency with the tag:
```
lance = { "version" = "=0.23.0", git =
"https://github.com/lancedb/lance.git";, tag = "v0.23.0-beta.4" }
```
Overall, I'd say it works well. It also avoids any implication of an
official release which is nice.
