He didn't pick up a pre-alpha nightly build of the framework, he used the release candidate for christ's sake Quoted for emphasis. Release Candidate means "The API is considered finished and we are stabilizing the code before our final release" Release Candidate doesn't mean "Beware! Don't you dare to build a real world application with our library since we will be breaking the API on a whim". If I wanted a dependency to have unpredictable breaking changes every minor version I would pick an Alpha version, not a Release Candidate one. Although to be fair, in my particular case it was my fault, seeing "Breaking Changes" in the changelog of a Release Candidate was a red flag I decided to ignore.
