It is also responsible for building release packages for Linux, Windows and Mac. | ||
Some core developers are working with Linux and have no access to a Windows installation in order to test if what they have implemented for Linux will works for Windows or Mac. The build server will automatically start a new compilation after each commit is pushed to the source code repository. We have the ability to compile the source code for Linux, Windows and Mac. | Some core developers are working with Linux and have no access to a Windows installation in order to test if what they have implemented for Linux will works for Windows or Mac.
