You can find all current versions and install instructions for them for all supported operating systems on the KiCad website:
Both the current stable version (now V5.1.12) and the “nightly” (Now V6.0.0.rc1) can be installed and used at the same time.
There are quite a lot of people who have used the nightlies (was V5.99 and V6.0.0.rc1) for their projects for some time.
The date string in the file (In this case: 20210126) is not just a date string. There is a very limited number of such strings, and they change only when the file format changes. In the last year this was about once a month on average.
