The update mechanism allows you to upgrade to the latest release. Right
now, that means upgrading from one beta to the another. There were issues
upgrading from beta1, but e.g. a beta3 to beta4 upgrade will be possible
using the updater.

Later, once we have the unstable channel, we will have Jenkins publish the
latest builds there.

Yes, this gives you the entire Git repository. The master branch is the
very latest code.

Development is very active. You can browse the activity in a couple of
places:
  http://trac.imagej.net/timeline  (combined view of all branches)
  https://github.com/imagej/imagej/commits/master  (activity on master
branch)

Thank you for noticing this. The "Application build" link changed, but we
forgot to update the web site to match. So it was a stale link from June
12. I have now fixed it to match the latest builds.

Regards,
Curtis
