This is Yusamac205. I have been going through all of these different links that are supposed to download Blender 2.79 beta. But am unable to do it.

Here are the links I have tried, with the explanation why they do not work:

https://builder.blender.org/
This site even tells you that you will be downloading Blender 2.78

http://download.blender.org/release/Blender2.79/
This site says that you will download Blender 2.79. But when I download it, it shows Blender 2.78.

https://developer.blender.org/
This site is confusing and does not seem to have any Blender 2.79 downloads.

https://miikahweb.com/en/blender/builds
Does not have anything beyond Blender 2.71.

http://graphicall.org/
This site does not provide Blender 2.79.

Where can I get Blender test builds?
I got a lot of the links that do not work from this question.

Find and Install Current Blender Release
None of those links work either

    $\begingroup$ The reason it shows 2.78 is because it's not an official release. A quick way to tell that you have 2.79 is by looking at the Render Layers tab in the Property panel. If you see Denoiser at the bottom, it's 2.79. $\endgroup$

A release candidate can be downloaded at https://builder.blender.org/download/

enter image description here

From the release Notes:

As the 2.79 is an important release before the transition to the 2.8 series, please help Blender by testing the available builds and reporting possible issues.

Compatibility Warning

When using add-ons in Blender 2.79 that take advantage of the new data-block pointer properties, the resulting .blend files can't be opened in earlier versions of Blender. Attempting to open such .blend files in Blender 2.78c and earlier may crash.

Where should I report bugs? Read this
