Zig cuts releases. This API is not on a release of Zig yet. It's only available through nightly builds of master. "Casual users" should stick to releases if they don't want to deal with incomplete APIs.

That's not really the issue. The stable API is incompatible with the API that will launch with 0.16. It's not really relevant if I'm playing with incompletely API, I want to know how I can migrate to it. I did not move yet to 0.16, but I wanted to see.

The migration pain will be the same once it launches unless they revert back, which does not seem likely at all.

But the point is: potentially every API is unstable.
