Pre-release snapshot artifacts of the Wheels framework,
published from wheels-dev/wheels's develop branch on every merge.
This repository contains no source code. Releases here are produced by CI
in the source repo — see publish-snapshot.yml.
Each snapshot is a GitHub Release tagged v<version>-snapshot.<run>, e.g.
v4.0.1-snapshot.1700. Each release attaches:
| Asset | Purpose |
|---|---|
wheels-cli-<version>.zip |
LuCLI module — what brew/scoop stage as the CLI |
wheels-core-<version>.zip |
Framework source — what wheels new copies into vendor/wheels/ |
*.md5, *.sha512 |

brew install wheels-be # macOS / Linux (Homebrew)
scoop install wheels-be # Windows (Scoop)The wheels-be package across all supported package managers tracks this
repo's releases/latest (which is filtered to pre-releases since this repo
publishes nothing else).
Snapshots churn at ~200-500/year. Hosting them on the main repo's Releases page
would drown the GA tags (~6-12/year). This repo also auto-deletes snapshots
older than 30 days (see .github/workflows/cleanup-old-snapshots.yml)
without touching any GA history.
