You do not need this switch any more.

It's in the name:
- devel: test and playground
- stable-X.Y.Z: for productive use.

As regards the numbering scheme:
	Z: binary compatible to your application; no recompile
	Y: source compatible to your application; recompile may be
neccessary
	X: breaking changes to your application; may require code
changes
	
Unless you have special requirements, use the stable branch.
