Both the 0.7 and the current CVS version work for C/C++ at least as well
as the 0.3 release.  However, Java browsing is currently broken for both
- the fix is not complicated, but I haven't got round to it yet.  In
general I've found that the 0.7 version is much better than 0.3 - the
move to a proper database makes it *much* faster, and the use of ectags
makes the referencing better.

So my advice would be to go ahead and use the 0.7 or cvs versions. 
There are some major changes coming to cvs soon before a 0.8 release,
but upgrading should be easy.
 
Cheers,
