I suggest you should wait the next release instead of using the above
*development* version.

  $ git clone https://github.com/agda/agda.git
  $ cd agda
  $ git checkout dc9ffae

The same as above.

a) and b) are both *development* versions. The "stable version" is not
a released version. You can think in the "stable version" as a
maintenance/next-release version. In GitHub there are two
*development* branches:

* master (this is what you call "Development version")

* stable-2.5 (this is what you call "Stable version")

NB that both branches correspond to development versions.

Right. The "version number" in the stable-2.5 and master branches
change after each new commit.
