The new files are as you put it 'bleeding edge cvs code', which happens
to be a lot more stable than the 1.0 release was, pretty much everything
which has happened to the code base since then has been a bug fix.
Originally we shipped code in three forms:
o rpm packages - updated very infrequently
o cvs tree - updated every hour to pick up development changes
o a patch to turn a base linux tree into a cvs tree which can be
used to keep upto date with the development cvs tree.
I put out something more traditional in the linux world - a kernel patch.
