  • hmmm, 14.2 is latest version, stable. What do you mean by not being stable for your production environment?

  • @pebwindkraft i did git clone github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin , compile, build after running and doing bitcoin-cli getinfo i am getting "errors": "This is a pre-release test build - use at your own risk - do not use for mining or merchant applications"

  1. git clone [email protected]:bitcoin/bitcoin.git
  2. git checkout tag_name

the latest version must be v0.15.0.1 now. so the command is : git checkout v0.15.0.1

You have to know which version is currently 'stable'. It's currently the 0.14 version. Just checkout the 0.14 branch from github. This will track 0.14.x versions.

You git pull and then make. Simples!

git clone [email protected]:bitcoin/bitcoin.git

git tag

Find latest stable version (without "rc" on its name)

git checkout tag_name

*"rc" stands for release candidate
