By default it checks out the 'trunk' branch, which is in principle the development branch, so the development version. If you wish to build the stable version, you should in principle configure the scripts (via a custom.sh script) to checkout the stable branch instead. I wrote "in principle" twice, because in the time period shortly after a new major release (like 2.4.0 a couple of months back), the development branch is exclusively used to fix bugs in the new release and is there no separate branch for the stable release just yet. So at this moment, if you build from trunk, you will get both the stable version and the development version, as they are the same thing. There was talk of creating a 2.4 branch a few days ago, but so far that hasn't happened yet. Once a 2.4 branch is created, all stable development (meaning bugfixes) continues on that branch, while trunk will be open for unstable development (new features, big changes,...). At that point you will have to modify your custom.sh to choose between the stable or unstable version to build.
