user-1: i want to download latest stable bitcoin-core src files. and want to build it on my system from source.
here is latest src of bitcoin-core but its not stable for production ready environment.
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin 

https://bitcoin.org/en/download shows latest version as 
Latest version: 0.14.2

so where can i download src files of version 0.14.2 

user57803: As you can see here the latest version is now the more stable version. As the most recent changes are for bug fixes, etc.

This is a new minor version release, including various bugfixes and
  performance improvements, as well as updated translations.

If you download a previous version this version may contain those fixed bugs.

user48884: The Bitcoin Core source code is in a git repository. The repository has multiple branches and tags. The branches are source trees for a major version (e.g. 0.14 releases) and tags are for individual releases.
If you want to use the latest stable version of Bitcoin Core, run the following command:
git checkout v0.14.2

If you want to use the latest source for the 0.14 version series, use
git checkout 0.14
