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

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

.. only:: not website

   .. note::

      If you are viewing this documentation offline, a more recent
      release `may be available <http://botan.randombit.net/download.html>`_.

Current Stable Series (1.10)
----------------------------------------

The latest version of the current stable series, from branch
``net.randombit.botan.1_10``, is :doc:`relnotes/1_10_5`:
:tgz:`1.10.5` (:tgz_sig:`sig <1.10.5>`),
:tbz:`1.10.5` (:tbz_sig:`sig <1.10.5>`)

are also available.

Current Development Series (1.11)

The latest version of the current development series, from branch
``net.randombit.botan``, is :doc:`relnotes/1_11_1`:
:tgz:`1.11.1` (:tgz_sig:`sig <1.11.1>`),
:tbz:`1.11.1` (:tbz_sig:`sig <1.11.1>`)

   such as Clang 3.1 or GCC 4.7.

:tgz:`1.8.14` (:tgz_sig:`sig <1.8.14>`),
:tbz:`1.8.14` (:tbz_sig:`sig <1.8.14>`)

Accessing Version Control
----------------------------------------

Botan's development occurs using a distributed version control system
called `Monotone <http://www.monotone.ca>`_. The main branch of
development occurs on the branch named ``net.randombit.botan``. To
download that branch and set up a new workspace, run::

   $ mtn db init --db=botan.mtn
   $ mtn pull --db=botan.mtn randombit.net 'net.randombit.botan'
   [...]
   $ mtn checkout --db=botan.mtn --branch=net.randombit.botan
   [...]

By default the ``checkout`` command will place the workspace in a
directory with the same name as the branch you are checking out. If
you want a different directory name, just include it after the
``--branch`` option (you can also rename this directory at any time).

If this is the first time you've connected to the server, Monotone
will print::

  mtn: first time connecting to server randombit.net
  mtn: I'll assume it's really them, but you might want to double-check
  mtn: their key's fingerprint: 8c0b868f2247215c63c96983b1c8ca0f0f0cfd9a

The fingerprint shown above was the correct one as of June 20, 2012.

To pull further changes, from anywhere in the workspace run these
commands::

  $ mtn pull
  [...]
  $ mtn update
  [summary of changes]

The ``mtn update`` command will give you a summary of which files
changed; to view the full changelog, run ``mtn log``.
