It is not - just check the change log…
Perhaps you have build the git version and forgot about it?
I installed it from the official repository.

$ cryfs --version
zsh: command not found: cryfs
then reinstalled it:
$ cryfs --version

I’m not sure if the message is new to this update, just noticed it.
Nope, it’s the repo version. I can confirm the issue, although I don’t really know why I have it installed. It’s listed as “explicitly installed”, and it’s an optional dependency of plasma-vault.

I don’t know what to think…
The package was rebuilt using the same tag 1.0.3 - so for all intents and purposes it should use the same source
Maybe it’s just some beta-testing flag somebody forgot to disable before compiling. 
That warning makes the package status clear: this is a development build rather than the stable CryFS release. Keeping it out of production until the repository package is refreshed seems like the safest approach.
Please see comment from Antonio Rojas
It’s not a development version. That message is displayed because the package is built from the git repo, not from a released tarball.
– cryfs development version, do not use in production? / Newbie Corner / Arch Linux Forums
Apparently the Arch Linux maintainer rebuild using the git source instead of a release tag - although the Arch Linux PKGBUILD reference the release tag - nothing we can do - it is how it
Thanks for the correction. The warning reflects a git-source build, so my earlier description of it as a development version was too strong.
