Stable development builds are currently not ready, but we can probally
get one ready in a week or two. In the meantime you can either try to
download and compile the CVS version yourself or just wait a few days.

The latest unstable build available is 0.5.0pre3, but thats GNU/Linux
only. For the moment you can try that and write down all the things
you miss in the game, gameplay tweaks that are needed, etc. (you can
ignore Pingus that are getting stuck in walls, etc. since that and a
lot of other small bugs have been fixed mostly in current CVS).
You can also use the 0.5.0pre3 build to create levels.

  I don't know for Linux, but for Windows the unique way is to get the latest 
CVS version, compile it and test the final .exe. You need VC++ 5/6 and the 
latest clanlib libraries, which you can get from Clansoft's website. If you 
want, I can even send you my binaries for the libraries, they work ...

  Re binaries for the game, I can't help you by now. My present binary copy is 
about 6 Mb in size, and I'm working about reducing such huge size, but I'm 
afraid is not possible by now. As I have seen, the problem is mostly in the 
libraries from Clanlib.
