## FAQ
### Why is a Nightly Missing?
There are two possible reasons:
1. The Zig download JSON that is used to generate this overlay only shows
the latest _master_ release. It doesn't keep track of historical releases.
If this overlay wasn't running or didn't exist at the time of a release,
we could miss a day. This is why historical dates beyond a certain point
don't exist; they predate this overlay (or original overlays this derives
from).
2. The official Zig CI only generates a master release if the CI runs
full green. During certain periods of development, a full day may go by
where the master branch of the Zig compiler is broken. In this scenario,
a master build (aka "nightly") is not built or released at all.
## Thanks
The `sources.json` file was originally from another Zig overlay repository
