A work in progress. Keep a look out for threads of the form 'Release 0.x.y of 
GPL PV Drivers for Windows' to find out what is being fixed with each 
release.

My personal preference is to find a binary release that is stable for you on a 
test domain before putting it on a production one. You may compile your self, 
but continue to test in a test domain first. I find his release schedule is 
often enough that there is no real advantage to the 'latest' code, and it may 
be more unstable (or may not).
