Periodically I download the latest full "nightly" build (I assume an automated Jenkins process makes it) to test navigation and see what bugs might have been introduced (and yes, I do find some, and report them).

Previously, the build was simply called "nightly" and was easy to find. The devs appear to have changed the build process, now, and that name no longer appears (attached screenshot). Before I bug them about it, does anyone happen to know what they changed it to?

I know that "default" is the free (non-paid) nightly build, but I did pay for the app, and I think that being able to provide feedback to the devs helps increase the value of the software I paid for, so I like to try to do that when time permits.

YES it changed, already reported and answered:

https://github.com/osmandapp/OsmAnd/issues/10645

Unfortunately the "old" nightly osmand-nightly.apk was labeled plus version (net.osmand.plus)
whereas the "new" nightly OsmAnd-default.apk is labeled NON-Plus version (net.osmand.dev).

So users who want to continue in participating in testing have now to:

- export all settings/profiles of "old" OsmAnd+ nightly

- install OsmAnd-default.apk

- import settings/profiles in "new" (NON-plus) OsmAnd-default.apk

- ckeck all settings, there might be (I hope only) minor differences

Depending on the location of install (memory internal / micro-sd-card) and android version it MAY BE possible to share storage for maps and other data of old and new version, if you want to keep it both.

Have fun, Peter :-~

Peter, if I'm reading the updated build documentation right, then the "android-Full" build would be the equivalent of what you and I have been testing, just without Google services, and "gplay-Full" would pretty much be exactly what we used to use, except that it doesn't exist on the latest-night-build download page. Do you read it the same way?

Jack, it looks like you are right. I will test it in the next days.

Thanks a lot for this hint, I did not pay attention to that file.

Whoever has the time first, updates the other on the result!

I have had the "android-full" one on my test phone for a few days now. It seems to work as I expect it to.
