Do all brokers always share the exact same stable build? I have just downloaded MetaTrader 5 from one broker and noticed that its build is 5836.


Yeah unfortunately when you download from a broker, you don't get the last release but the last public beta (current beta is not send to brokers yet, so it's 5836).

Alain, perhaps the question should be phrased differently.

Is it possible to develop in MQL using MetaTrader 5/MetaEditor downloaded from mql5.com, and run tests on Hedging/Netting accounts using the MetaQuotes-Demo server (which is very convenient, so you don't have to look for brokers that offer both account types), but without downloading beta builds?

This exact issue has already been discussed in this forum thread, and judging by the discussion, it was fixed and had nothing to do with the builds at all:

MetaQuotes is advised about the situation. They will check tomorrow I guess.

No it's not possible.

You can perfectly use this zip with a Mac or Linux. The exe files are the same as for Windows.
