I can see that newest CVS builds got a different stickied topic in the Recent builds forum.

Question: What's a CVS build?

Well, CVS is a managing System for Source code...
Developers can commit their changes to CVS and they will be merged to one "tree"...
So CVS-Builds are builds that are made of that "tree"...

With other words:
CVS-Builds = The newest non-release builds...

I hope that I explained that right...

More or less. So CVS builds are the most ideal to download?

Basically it works like this.

You have the official builds like 3.6.7. Then you have the CVS builds which are posted by RedMenace every day (if there are changes made in CVS). Lastly you builds posted by coders. These are posted whenever a coder has added a new feature and wants it tested before adding the changes to CVS.

So unless you want a new feature that hasn't hit CVS yet you're generally better off with a CVS build.
Karajorma's Freespace FAQ. It's almost like asking me yourself.
