[rabbitmq-discuss] Nightlies now available - help us test RabbitMQ 3.0

Sat Oct 20 12:08:38 BST 2012

I dont want to set any expectations here, as Simon hasn't stated explicitly that we will do this, but...

If/when we get the infrastructure in place to distribute binaries for multiple platforms, this might be doable. But at the moment there's no support for native libraries so you might have to wait a wee while for this.
