    I've noticed that there are frequently new builds released, often with big patch notes. I'm just wondering if anyone can suggest a 'safe' stable release? It's good that there are frequent updates but it makes me unsure when to take the plunge when there seems to be a pretty big patch every couple of weeks.

    Thanks.

    We release a patch every week, these then get rolled into a release which has a more in depth QA pass on it.
    Get the latest release from https://store.unity.com/download?ref=update
    If you need a specific fix before the next release then grab the patch that includes the fix(look at release notes).

    Just download the latest release from below. Patch releases are primarily for high priority situations that cannot wait for the next official release to occur.

    Like everyone mentioned on the above, jsut get the latest that is not a patch or beta and stick with it. It is generally a ad idea to upgrade mid project.
