Users are encouraged to use the nightly:

> It may not be usable and the feature set may change, but since @wez uses this as a daily driver, its usually the best available version. [1]

Of course you don't need to install the new nightly on a daily basis. But running stable from early 2024 you're probably missing some (mostly invisible) improvements.

There was also a thread somewhere explaining why there won't be a new stable release soon. IIRC, it had to do with completing a list of tasks, some of which had some blockers outside the control of Wez. Unfortunately, I can't spot the thread.
