How can I use a stable release version instead of the bleeding edge master?
The master branch of the git repository always contains the bleeding edge development code. This is important for Org’s fast development, because code on master gets checked out by many people daily and we quickly receive bug reports if something is wrong. On rare occasions, this code may not function perfectly for a limited time while we are trying to fix things. Not everyone like to use this bleeding-edge code and face the danger to hit a surprising bug. Therefore, from time to time, we make a release. This typically happens when the maintainers feel that • they have reached a good point in the development • the code has a feature set that should stay and be supported in the future Stable releases are used as the basis for alternative distributions of Org, and they are also the code that gets merged into the Emacs distribution. If you want to work only with stable releases, you can always download them here, but you can also also use the git repository to keep automatically up-to-dat
