The preferred way of obtaining the current development code is from CVS. You can either browse the CVS source tree or checkout the source code, as explained here. You need to use the "autogen.sh" script in CVS to compile the code, and autoconf and automake must be available.

To download the latest release as a ".tar.gz" archive, please go the release list. Instructions are in the "README" and "INSTALL" files in the archives.
