Well, which should your users be using? From my perspective, I think you should give them the alpha and help them report bugs! :-)
Interesting idea. Anyone else have opinions on this? I think I'd be fine giving people the alpha, but I also don't want to annoy people with too many bugs.
No, please no alphas by default. This defeats the purpose of alphas. As a fast solution: stable only. As a medium solution: allow choosing stable or alpha. As an ideal solution: allow both to coexist.
Right now it would be easiest to just make it get the alpha.
Or, alternatively, I could download https://www.torproject.org/download/download.html.en and parse it for the current version. However, this will break as soon as torproject.org updates it's web design.
Why not phrase https://check.torproject.org/RecommendedTBBVersions ? No updates planed for it even in long term as far I am following trac...
