So if something new goes in the GitHub master branch, usually you can wait a couple of days and see it show up in a daily build of Blender. I'll start off by saying, Blender 2.80 Beta and the GitHub glTF-Blender-IO repository are going to be kept in sync at least through the end of 2.80's release and likely far beyond.
