An update to Daz Studio 2025 Public Build (6.25.2025.30407) is available.
[An update to Daz Studio 2025 Public Build (6.25.2025.30407) is available.] But when I click on the offered link in the DS window for the express purpose of opening DIM to that build: daz3dim://filter//tag::all::rx::%!E(MISSING).*PublicBuild$%!&(MISSING)&%! which oddly doesn't reveal any files in DIM. How strange, eh?
As you can see, the information offered in the hyperlink is somewhat less than useful. Unless, of course, the build number is actually (MISSING), which seems an odd iteration of a build.
I'd like to update 2025, really I would. Yes, I know it's an Alpha, but isn't part of an Alpha facilitating updates, not distributing confusion?

And none (zero, zilch, nada) make it clear where/how to get the Alpha or its updates. It's "possible" to excavate the information, as I did, but finding updates, as opposed to merely being informed of their existence and their possible new or improved features is a Herculean task. I realize I'm just a guy who spends a ton of mony on products here, hence my opinions have no weight, but perhaps pinning a thread SPECIFICALLY for the purpose of obtaining the Alpha and its updates might have some small utility? Especially in light of the link in DS not doing anything useful with DIM? Just a suggestion. It's not like I'm vainly hoping that the forum search functions ever get otimized before the heat death of the universe or anything. Just a simple way to find and update the Alpha, or is that too much to ask?
I might point out that I recently had to rebuild my system, and now I have a 5090, so I can't use (render) in DS4. I have a 9950X3D CPU, 193 GB of RAM, and a 5090 in my system. I even built a 12 TB SSD external RAID to load DS Libraries on. So a little assistance would be appreciated. Just don't ask me to praise using DIM to install DS or its libraries somewhere other than my boot drive. That was like pulling teeth with a prybar. It was so tedious and repetitive that I feared I'd wear out my SSDs before I ever succeeded.
The first question "where/how to get the "Alpha"?":
The second question "how to get its updates?":
Don't hesitate to ask in the forums if you have questions. In this case, DAZ3D sent out several emails and it is mentioned in the forums serval times. This might also be helpful: https://www.daz3d.com/blog/daz-studio-2025-alpha-updates More importantly, https://www.daz3d.com/blog/daz-studio-2025-alpha-release?srsltid=AfmBOorIMFOGssCeGk8WkFavxvWszAsvojmdcsTcJtLuq6jJcQpmVFmB
All in all 30 pinned threads is kind of ridiculous anyway
The first post of the Evergreen thread covers download and isntal https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/727631/daz-studio-2025-6-25-2025-x-evergreen
The correct link is
daz3dim://filter//tag::all::rx::%5E.*PublicBuild$%20&&%202025
which will open DIM (if it isn't) and apply the filter (stating with tag) to the file list to show DS 2025 Alpha and its components (updated or not) - but DIM will need to be working online to see the updated version in Ready To Download, otherwise the whole tab will be disabled.
