Nightly Telepresence upgrades

New builds of Telepresence are publish nightly, Monday through Friday, for macOS (Intel and Apple silicon), Linux, and Windows. The current builds are located on the release/v2 page.

The tags are formatted as: vX.Y.Z-nightly-$gitShortHash.

vX.Y.Z is the most recent release of Telepresence with the patch version (Z) bumped one higher. For example, if the last release was 2.3.4, nightly builds would start with v2.3.5, until a new version of Telepresence is released.

$gitShortHash will be the short hash of the git commit of the build.

Use these URLs to download the most recent nightly build.

Upgrade Process

The Telepresence CLI will periodically check for new versions and notify you when an upgrade is available. Run the same commands used for installation to replace your current binary with the latest version.

After you've completed an upgrade, you need to stop any live Telepresence processes by issuing telepresence quit command, then run telepresence connect to upgrade the Traffic Manager.
