571 When you create a project in Toaster, you will be asked to

580 release, Toaster will run your builds using the local Yocto
581 Project clone you have in your computer: the same clone
582 you are using to run Toaster. Unless you manually update
583 this clone, your builds will always use the same Git revision.

591 means that if your selected release is updated upstream, the
