Where can I find the Direct download link for the prerelease versions? The cursor://settings/update.releaseTrack setting supports stable and prerelease. As I do not want to let cursor self/auto update, I want the know the prerelease url to download it manually

Thanks @condor! I was thinking to add the pre-release as a cask to homebrew. Similar to what vs code has like `visual-studio-code@insiders` in addition to the general `visual-studio-code`.

Currently the public release/production url for Cursor is of the form `"https://downloads.cursor.com/production/#{version.csv.second}/darwin/#{arch}/Cursor-darwin-#{arch}.zip"` with the below values.

| variable | value |
| --- | --- |
| #{version.csv.second} | 8ea935e79a50a02da912a034bbeda84a6d3d355d |
| #{arch} | arm64 |

Do you know how the pre-release url looks like? Or do you by chance have some previous url copied/handy?

Mine is automatically updated and I have not seen a pre prelease download URL posted by Cursor.
