Hi Jon,
The nightly build is temporarily not being generated, so you will have to download and compile the source. The instructions for this can be found here: https://dev.kepler-project.org/developers/reference/downloading-and-building-the-kepler-source-code/ Please let us know if you have any problems, --dan Jon Goodall wrote: > Hi Dan, > > Do I need to use the nightly build of Kepler to get the updated XPath > actor?
