The latest source is online to be built at all times.

New betas and releases are announced on the mailing lists.  If you use the
Gui and have the "allow betas" checkbox ticked in preferences, it'll detect
betas when they're available and prompt you for download.

I've been hoping to put a beta together for some time, but ongoing support
and other distractions have conspired to keep that from happening, so I'm
not putting a date on it.
