Latest SVN builds
Bleeding edge SVN builds are usually released once or twice per week. They contain the latest features, updates, and sometimes even bugs. There are different versions available:
- SVN - 32-bit - generic relatively stable, not fully tested
- SVN - 32-bit - ICL10 same as above with potentially better performance when using filters, requires SSE-capable CPU
- SVN - 64-bit experimental, not stable, 32-bit version recommended instead
- View SVN changelog shows the latest changes/commits to the source code
The FAQ goes into detail regarding the differences and covers topics like stability, performance, and optimizations.
