Getting The Latest Sources

All releases are signed with a :doc:`PGP key <pgpkey>`.

Unsure which release you want? Check the :ref:`FAQ <devel_vs_stable>`.

.. note::

   If you are planning on developing an application using TLS, using
   the latest 1.11 release instead of 1.10 is highly recommended.
