You are talking about two different things here. Use a mirror site to get a source release. As far as bug fixes go, there are not many of them since not a lot of them have been fixed recently. You can look at the individual bug reports to see if a patch has been posted. Some are fixed already and will be incorporated into the next release. In the future, we will have CVS up and running. Mo
