Dev branch, right? When it's safest to update the server? Better do it after the daily update.
One problem with using the Dev branch is that the majority of other servers seem to be running Stable at the moment and it's not like with A2 where it's simple to use a commandline switch to choose whether to launch with Stable or Dev, it requires a large download to switch between the two each time, so for anyone who might wish to play on other servers sometimes, using the Dev branch would be problematic.
I guess the Dev branch is more likely to have tweaks/new features added that could cause bugs, which would hopefully be picked up and fixed before they're transferred to the Stable, so that could be something to bear in mind as well.
I'm not sure what the schedule is for copying changes from Dev to Stable but if there's some significant optimisations or other advantages with the Dev at the moment, an idea might be to use that until the next Stable update and then use Stable after that.
