Consider publishing pre-releases

[stefanmaric]

Hi!

I see a few things queuing up at #642 and I'm particularly interested in #637 while we integrate @segment/analytics-next.

I've cloned the repo to test it locally but it would be really helpful to have nightly/alpha/beta/rc tagged versions published to the npm registry before final release, so we don't need to clone & build to start testing new features.

Regardless, thanks for all the efforts.

Thanks for your suggestion @stefanmaric. FYI, we've just had a release, so those updates you were interested in are now live on npm.

I think you're suggesting something like this:
https://github.com/changesets/changesets/blob/main/docs/snapshot-releases.md.

For a peak behind the curtain, we attempt to be good about publishing often and not letting work linger in master (we have no official limits on frequency or size of release! We hadn't published in a while because of a code freeze (which we try to respect). For situations like that, I can see that snapshot release as a useful "escape valve" / for users like yourself.

Thanks for the suggestion, we are tracking this internally.
