| What do the nightly downloads contain ?
The MUI4.0 downloads are about 3Mb in size yet the nightly build is 12Mb. |

| The nightly build archives contain unstripped binaries to ensure that possible crashlogs contain the file and line information as readable information already.

Don't do that. The additional binary size does NOT consume any memory at run time. But it makes debugging LOTS easier in case of a crash.

Doesn't help, it is the download time that worries me not the final size of the binary.

Understood, it makes sense now. Thanks for the clarification. |

| Hmm, why do you have 2 separate downloads then (normal & debug) ? |

The debug archive consists of muimaster.library only which is built with debugging output enabled. That explains why this archive is smaller than the normal archive, which contains all external classes as well. The debug version will print out LOTS of stuff on the serial line. Usually this version is only required if detailed logs are necessary to find out the cause of an issue.
