The official releases of FreeCAD, that you can find on the page referenced above and in your distribution's software manager, are stable versions. However, the development of FreeCAD is fast! New features and bug fixes are added almost every single day. Since it is often a long time between stable releases, you might be interested in trying a more bleeding-edge version of FreeCAD. These development versions, or pre-releases, are uploaded from time to time to the download page mentioned above, or, if you are using Ubuntu or Fedora, the FreeCAD community also maintains PPA (Personal Package Archives) and copr 'daily builds' which are regularly updated with the most recent changes.
