hi,

it's kind of possible. in a sense that dt will not crash, all rpaths
should be relative and the plugins should only be loaded for the
correct version (if you install one to /usr and the other to
/opt/darktable, say).

note, however, that the library and processing stacks are not backward
compatible. i.e. an image that you opened with the newer version of
dt, or a library file that you opened with the git master version will
not necessarily work again when going back to the old version.

i would be very careful trying such a mixed setup. maybe try the
development version on a few test images for a bit and see whether you
like it better? and then decide for one.

cheers,
 jo
