I find the terminology quite confusing...

Its either "bleeding edge", which would be master aka.
the-development-version-that-will-later-become-0.26-fixes. The wording
"bleeding edge" is a strong hint that its not for the faint of heart.
You need to keep a close eye on the development to select revisions
that are likely stable enough to not break your installation.

Or its "latest fixes" if you want the latest stable version, which
would be 0.25-fixes which involves neither bleeding nor edges in any
way ;)


Mythbuntu applies the name "0.26" to master after the 0.25 release up
to the 0.26 release and then switches to 0.26-fixes.
