 If you don't want to risk having an 'unstable' version of the game on your system, likely crashing itself or your computer, only download the stable 'release' versions of the game, accessed from the files locations off the homepage.

 So what's it mean for Vega Strike? With the right tool to access CVS, you can access the data files for the latest developmental version of the game, download and play it. You can download the latest sourcecode of the game files themselves, and compile the game from scratch - that is, making an absolute cutting edge version of Vega Strike to run on your computer.
