Feedback
In terms of feedback, we’re especially looking for:

  • Framework and Tools - Are there use cases that are not covered yet that you would like to do with the Burst Compiler?
  • Usability Improvements - Are there any workflows that are unclear or missing?
  • General Questions - Is there anything that is unclear or that you don’t understand?
  • Developer API - Do you need specific features exposed or changed?
  • Documentation and Tutorials - Do you have recommendations about our documentation or ideas for tutorials we should produce?

Please share your feedback in this forum.

How to report bugs
Ideally we’d like any bugs reported through the built-in bug reporter tool, as that will automatically provide us with some relevant context. We understand that it is often not possible to share the sensitive project data with us, so we will do our best to reproduce your findings on our end without a concrete repo case. But if you can, it is always helpful to get a stripped project.

Have a look at this page for more information and best practices around bug reporting.

Once you have submitted a bug report through the bug reporter, please feel free to start a discussion about it in this forum.

Thank you for your interest, we’re looking forward to your feedback!
