You can compare it with a process where software is "refined": Development takes place in -CURRENT or -HEAD. This is experimental, sometimes crashes, sometimes won't even boot. Features can be added or removed. This is achieved by obtaining the most current sources, compiling them, and installing. Developers typically use this branch. Things that are found as stable will result in a snapshot in the -STABLE branch. THe word "stable" means that the ABI is stable across the whole branch. This also is done via source code. >From -STABLE, further things are made ready for realease, usually through -ALPHA, -BETA, -RC (release candidate), -PRERELEASE, and finally -RELEASE. This is what you find on installation media. Even though you can use the source code, using binary install methods is the typical way here. To allow -RELEASE installs to receive patches, freebsd-update can be used to add them in a binary way, i. e., without compining, also known as installing from source. A name of -RELEASE-pX (where X is the patchlevel number) indicates such an installation. The ports collection - 3rd party software that is not part of the FreeBSD OS - is independent. There is one tree, and it can be used to install the current (!) version of software available on -CURRENT, -STABLE, -RELEASE-pX, or -RELEASE (unpatched). This is of course simplified, but basically, that's what makes the difference between -RELEASE and -STABLE.
