## Cwtch Development Handbook
We have created a new documentation section, [the developers handbook](/developing/intro). This new section is targeted towards to people working on Cwtch projects (e.g. the official Cwtch library or the Cwtch UI), as well as people who want to build new Cwtch applications (e.g. chat bots or custom clients).
### Release and Packaging Process
The new handbook features a breakdown of [Cwtch release processes](/developing/release) - describing what, and how, build artifacts are created; the difference between nightly and official builds; how the official release process works; and how reproducible build scripts are created.
### Cwtch Application Development
For the first time ever we now have [comprehensive documentation on how to build a Cwtch Application](/developing/category/building-a-cwtch-app). This section of the development handbook covers everything from [choosing a Cwtch library](/developing/building-a-cwtch-app/intro#choosing-a-cwtch-library), to [building your first application](/developing/building-a-cwtch-app/building-an-echobot).
