In short, focused on the development of new features - may be unstable. > R14.0.0: stable version. Does not change. R14.0.x nightly builds: development branch of next maintenance release of R14.0. Will not contains major changes from R14.0.0 unless critical problems are found. Mostly bug fixes for the stable version R14.1.0 nightly builds: development branch of next minor release (R14.1.0). Major changes will go here, together with all fixes done in R14.0.x 1) If you want a real stable version, use R14.0.0. 2) If you want a stable version (but that sometimes may have minor temporary problems) use R14.0.x branch, so you can help testing the next maintenance release. 3) If you want a somehow less stable version (that sometimes may also have major temporary problems) use R14.1.0 branch, so you can help testing the next minor release.
