Hi,
It would be great if all stable builds were also published to the dev channel. This would make it possible to always have the latest build if running a dev version. A recent example:
3175 - dev only
3176 - stable only
The only way for me to run 3176 was to switch channels, which consequently prevented further dev build auto-updates.
thanks!

In general, the dev build before a stable build is usually a smoke test to make sure no new large issues were encountered. When we make last-minute changes to a stable build, we usually follow up with a dev build within a day or two.
If you stick on the dev channel, you will have the latest and greatest, even if there is a stable build with an N + 1 build number.
Due to the way the applications and update channels work, there isn’t a way to release the same version to dev and stable, since they look in different places for updates. Additionally, dev builds are locked to licensed users. Thus, to accomplish what you wanted, we’d have to have two different executables with the same number, which isn’t a good idea.
This is a helpful explanation @wbond and not obvious that Dev is always in advance regardless the version numbers
I also didn’t know this behavior.
It would be very useful to other if you post these informations on the Dev build page so users don’t switch channels back and forth, this is a boring tasks
