-
master (Default/Stable): It has been tested by users on develop branch and it's not known to have any major issues.
-
develop (Beta): Dev releases are beta releases. These builds have been tested by nightly testers and should contain only minor issues.
-
nightly (Nightly): Bleeding edge builds. Appveyor builds that generate automatically with every push to develop branch. There is no guarantee that it will even run in some cases. Use this branch only if you know what you are doing and are willing to get your hands dirty to recover a failed update.

This will not install the bits from that branch immediately, it will happen during the next update.
Installing a newer version
-
Go to System and then the Updates tab
-
Newer versions that are not yet installed will have an update button next to them, clicking that button will install the update.
Can I switch from develop back to master, or nightly to develop?
We don't recommend manually switching back to master, since other branches are commonly running newer code which might not be compatible with the older code in master. We have plans to mitigate this in the future.
