After clarification, the "current" release should be stable and is the same code they use for their subscription builds, don't feel quite as bad as I did.
This actually sounds better than bareos's past releases as patches for the current version were not available without subscription if you can trust that stabe is actually stable. This does have the caveat though "could be upgraded automatically without my knowledge", which is a very big concern especially for major versions. I get they want to charge for the convenience of their prebuilt packages as you can build it on your own for linux is easy enough. BUT the build process for windows clients is not documented and the closest info is https://groups.google.com/g/bareos-devel/c/GEXnhQp9y00/m/ZmiPpO4uAwAJ which is no longer relevant with the updated build system. For now, guess I'd build my own for linux on tagged versions and keep around a copy of the current windows version that was released around the time of the new tag.
