So the nightlies are gradual improvement over the Stable? I'm sure there's a reason they decided that that particular build is considered stable. I guess I dont have to be afraid that some previously working feature will stop working if I update the nightlies. BTW, is there anywhere I can see the changelog for nightlies? cuz I can't find them anywhere
not sure why i wasnt clear.
repeat again, i used cm since cm9. flash so many nightlies during cm9, all same only.
bugs that exist still exist even on stable cm9. most prominent is the "pull down notification tray and there is nothing there bug". even the nightlies after stable cm9 still got this issue. stupid. once jellybean announce, they just put the stable tag there.
in cm10, less bugs. the one that still exist is "if wifi off, sometimes no crt off effect (animation) when you lock the phone". thats all. from nightlies, no difference at all for end users, at least nothing noticable.
the only thing added, that IS noticeable is the new CM file manager.
so far all CM10 nightlies are good. you can update when you like.
in SETTINGS>ABOUT PHONE>CYANOGENMOD updates
you can check for new nightlies. it will download.
when it finish download just tap install. it will auto enter cwm flash, wipe cache and restart for you.
i usually download before sleep, when wake next morning, install the update, by the time i finish brush teeth, it finish update already. simple as that.
if you want to see the change log, tap at the nightly in the
SETTINGS>ABOUT PHONE>CYANOGENMOD updates
but believe me, the changelog is in cyanogen language, normal user wont understand a thing.

nightly is experimental, stable is stable, even if its after stable build they might experiment on something that may cause previously stable things to be unstable. and i wonder why you can't find the changelog, did you even visit the cm10 thread? its so obvious and big
no need to go their website,
cm now have cm updater in
settings> about phone
where can auto download and install nightlies and check change log.
but their changelog always the usual things like
update translation for this and that,
merge this and that,
update lib for this and that
update gerrit for this and that
fix unknown this and that
weird numbers and alphabeths this and that.
the only changelog i understand was
~added circle batter icon
~added extended desktop feature(not for S2, for tablets)
~added cm file manager app
ya, since 2 months back, these are the small 3 new things.
