Pedro,

Yes, the “stable” in that URL mean that it’s the currently released stable 
branch. They’ll be released at the end of next week as GC 5.17. That one-off 
link I gave you last week is on the future branch. Those are built using Github 
CI; Derek and I need to work out a way to get code to copy them to make it 
easier for people to find.

Regards,
John Ralls
