=== Current Release - Beta2 === 

[[NoteBox(tip, Trunk (below) has many new features and is much cleaner)]]
This is a post-processed tarball release and, as such, will not require either Subversion or Pyrex to build.  You will need to install the required dependencies if you're on *nix (on Ubuntu/Debian/Fedora/etc that means *-dev packages). Please check the [wiki:FAQ] for installation help.
