NOTE: This build seems to be unusable. Previous next-test is still available.
next-test is a branch of the mainline bitcoind & Bitcoin-Qt with as many pull requests merged as possible, to aid in testing them. This branch can be used to test many pull requests in your daily Bitcoin use. The goal is to help pull requests get the testing they need to be merged into the main tree, so once you test a change, please comment in the relevant pull request (ideally with details).
