Our staging and aux branches are always up-to-date, so you can properly test plugins prior to a major update or provide a modded server for players to try out new Rust updates before they're live! Staging - https://github.com/CarbonCommunity/Carbon.Core/releases/tag/rustbeta_staging_build Aux01 - https://github.com/CarbonCommunity/Carbon.Core/releases/tag/rustbeta_aux01_build Aux02 - https://github.com/CarbonCommunity/Carbon.Core/releases/tag/rustbeta_aux02_build For Developers If you're a developer, you can enjoy all of the latest improvements of C# 10 as well as the ability to add your own methods anywhere in the assembly without being locked down to pre-existing hooks. All of your existing Oxide plugins will be compatible, though we recommend making a Carbon-specific version available to utilize Carbon to its fullest.
