which branch to compile and run?

I want to run emacs 29 Which branch shall I compile and run? master or emacs-29? thanks

Is this a trick question? (use emacs-29)

I regularly compile the master branch every weekend. I contribute by reporting bugs.

Emacs 29 if you want stability and daily hassle free use. (Master also might be hassle free but I can't guarantee). Master if you want to contribute, report bugs or have seen a feature you can't wait for. Many packages won't have adjusted to emacs 30 changes yet.

YES! Always a bad idea to use master after the announcement of a stable branch. Not taking my own advice and using master this morning... slew of errors; basically only useable with `-q` 😅

i've been using 'master' for at least a couple of decades. glitches have been rare (but always reported and always fixed quickly). its stability is \*impressive\*.
