Thread: Main load or Dev load?

Main load or Dev load?

I have ran into some issues with a couple of my sites and with the help of this forum, have been able to get fixes. One thing I can't find and I'm sure it's somewhere, is what load I am supposed to use. One of my issues was with vantage, looking on this forum I found someone who had the same issue, the fix was to uninstall vantage and load the dev load with this fixes. I did that and it all worked.

My question is how do you know what load has the latest changes in it? I seen that the Version: 3.0.1 was on my site before the dev load and Version: 3.0.1-dev-2015-07-02.1 [8d79beb352] after I loaded the Dev load but looking on the download page while looking for an update, it still shows 3.0.1, click on change log it really doesn't give you any indication that there was a update to 3.0.1. Is the Dev Load an interim load between version changes with fixes that will be incorporated with the new version? Am I suppose to be using the dev load on my sites instead of the released version? I'm new here, just trying to figure out what I need to be using for the latest greatest version so my sites work correctly.

I did load the apptheme updater and as far as I could tell, it said my version was up to date. I'm not really sure how to use that app, I'm assuming it will let you know on the dashboard if the version is out of date.

Thanks
