The -dev suffix means that this is developed right now, so it isn’t released yet.

By default you follow the tests-passed branch of Discourse, so like their hosted customers you get all the latest features and fixes when you update.  
When a milestone is reached or there is a security fix a new beta is released. Then you are notified that an update is available.  
So when 3.4.0.beta2-dev was finished, the release notes which show what was added since the beta1 milestone were published [3.4.0.beta2: Better pageview metrics, multiple category moderator groups, watch chat threads, and more](https://meta.discourse.org/t/3-4-0-beta2-better-pageview-metrics-multiple-category-moderator-groups-watch-chat-threads-and-more/329340)  
Everything that was added afterwards isn’t “released” yet.
