Make periodic pre-release builds available on npm #1882
Description
We should be making preview releases on npm available, preferably in an automated fashion.
As discussed a bit on #1818.
Seems like this should have the 1.5 milestone (but should begin prior to 1.5's release, as would be appropriate).

I believe the only outstanding question we had here was how to do this in a way that people who didn't specify a version number in their package.json didn't automatically upgrade to some possibly-unstable TypeScript build.

Assuming you'll use prerelease tags (eg
1.5.0-prerelease.2015.02.02.abcd) npm will never choose this to install unless the requested version also contains a prerelease tag. See https://github.com/npm/node-semver#prerelease-tags for details.Prerelease tags are also considered less than their corresponding release, so the above would be less than 1.5.0 when it's actually released. From the semver spec:
Can you detail what version format you're going to use for the prereleases?

Let's figure out what the right way to do this is.

This appears to be a duplicate of #964.
