hi
How to tell the difference between the two .
I Rust day eperimental relase .
Which one should I follow to the future update thank you
Uhhh, I'm not entirely sure what you are asking, so I'm going to try and give you the info I think you want.
There are three versions of Rust, technically, but they're divided into two major versions.
First, there is the old legacy version. It looks different from the other two. Legacy is not being updated anymore, and it has not been updated for about a year.
Second, there is the regular branch for the new version of Rust, what was formerly called "experimental". It's no longer called experimental, simply Rust, because it's the default. It updates about once a week. The current build is 1199/0dev, but this should be changing very soon, since the weekly update push is coming.
The third version is [B]development[/B], and that's also its branch name. The development branch is updated every time the developers post an update to [URL="https://twitter.com/RustUpdates"]@RustUpdates[/URL] and upload the build to Steam. This can happen 20-30 times a day sometimes. The version number will change rapidly with the updates, so there's no point in recording it here.
When garry wants to update the default branch, he just changes its patch version number in Steam to match the development branch (so, when the update to 1199/0dev was made, the development branch was at 1199/0dev, but then the next development update would push it to 1200/0dev or something like that).
In order to use the development branch, you have to go into the Properties window for Rust, go to the Betas tab, and click on the dropdown and select the development branch option. It's hard to accidentally end up on it. Just remember that when the main version of Rust is updated, it will be the same version as the development branch for a short period of time, and a bunch of "new" servers will appear because they are development servers -- and the version is temporarily the same.
However, as soon as a change on the Twitter requires a version update to newer version than the regular branch, those development servers will disappear.
The development branch will also download updates a lot more often, so if your internet access has a data usage cap, you might want to stay on the regular branch.
If weekly updates are good enough for you, stick to the default version.
Explain please difference between "NONE" and "stable".

Stable is what we push our stable branch to, right before we make it live.
Technically stable and default should mostly always be the same, except for about 10 minutes before an update.
