# What to build: Packages, Tarballs, and the CVS

The latest FreeTDS package is version 0.61. It is available from iBiblio and its mirrors.

Code changes by the developers are immediately available in the CVS repository. If you've run into a problem, you may want to check out from CVS to see if it's fixed there. Please check the FAQ for instructions on using CVS.

For those behind firewalls or otherwise unable to access CVS, nightly snapshots of CVS are rolled up into tarballs for your convenience. They can be downloaded from ibiblio.org. Tarballs are generated around 3am EST (GMT-5).

In general, the CVS version works better and has more functionality than the release version. Bugs sometimes persist in the release version but are usually fixed in short order (once identified) in CVS.

| As with any project of this sort, if you want to use the CVS version, it's a good idea to join the mailing list.
