- Achieve parity with the Pantheon environment locally, including access to power services like Solr and Redis.
- Push changes back up to their Pantheon site.
- Get Pantheon specific power tools such as Terminus, Drush and WP-CLI.

Not For General Use These builds are intended primarily for developers working on Kalabox and those who are experienced enough with the Kalabox framework and want to test apps before they are released. Most users won't be interested.
We produce development releases for every commit merged into our v0.13 branch. These releases are not officially supported but we have made them available to intrepid users who want to try the bleeding edge or are interested in trying out a recent bug fix before an official release is rolled.

NOTE: Releases can take some time to build after we merge in commits. For that reason you might want to check the time of the last commit and if it is within a few hours you might want to hold off a bit before trying the new latest release.
You can also easily verify that the release you downloaded matches the latest commit. All development releases look something like 0.13.0-alpha.1-4-g63b0db0. This means 4 commits after the 0.13.0-alpha.1 tag and with commit hash g63b0db0. You should make sure this commit hash matches or comes before the latest commit.
