Blender offers two different binary packages; you can choose from a stable release or a daily build.The first has the benefit of being more reliable,the latter provides the newest features, as they are developed, at the cost of stability.

This is a binary distribution of the latest version of Blender.It is considered stable and without regressions.

This is a binary distribution of Blender that is updated daily to include the newest changes in development.These versions are not as thoroughly tested as the stable release, and might break,although they are official and usually not highly experimental.

Note

Blender’s source code is available for free to either reference orto Build from Source.While normal users are not expected to compile Blender it does have advantages:

• Blender is always up to date.
