Giving MCServer a version number

Then why not have master as testing?

I see your point, there's no point in people testing the "testing" branch.

Perhaps the "testing" branch should be an "internal one", meaning people are not supposed to test it directly, and no official binaries exist for it. The adventurers would use the Master branch, the rest will use Stable, and when a bug is detected in Master which is related to what's in testing, stuff are pushed to testing.

In other words:

Code:

Master ---(bugfixes/rotations)--->  Testing ---(rotations)---> stable ---> Binaries: Stable releases.
|                                                                                                                        
V        
Binaries: "Nightlies" / call them whatever you want

Edit: Now that I think of it again, I don't see how it's better than having people test "testing", you can ignore my previous post.
