For the nightly Zigling tests, we always use the latest Zig build version. As of now (as I write these lines), this is version 0.16.0-dev.1976. If someone downloads the current version of Ziglings to make it, they will need this version or a newer one. However, the Zig download page currently only offers version 0.16.0-dev.1912, and therefore Ziglings does not work. That has somehow changed since the move to Codeberg; at least the current build version and the one offered for download differ from each other.

My question is, does anyone have an idea for a download link I can offer users on Ziglings so they can download the latest build again? Nothing complicated, please. 😉

Maybe the [json link](https://ziglang.org/download/index.json)

Hmm strange, the download index has the 1976 version (and I think this file is used by Zig installer tools like zvm):

[https://ziglang.org/download/index.json](https://ziglang.org/download/index.json)

Maybe the download page had been built each night on github ci and that is now inactive? Don’t know haw far back 1912 actually is though, but if there’s one new version each night that would be 64 days, while the last Github CI build was on 26-Nov-2025 (no exact match but at least roughly in the same ballpark).

Two Zulip conversations: The first contains an explanation, why this changed with codeberg:

Thanks, now I know it’s just a temporary glitch with the download page. And I’ll also add a link to the JSON page so that users can easily get the latest version if the download page is different.
