Follow the dev and commits list. Though the only officially "stable" 
versions are the release versions. Though I've never had a major problem 
with stability and CVS builds.

If you're using apt-get you can keep your whole system up to date with 
"apt-get dist-upgrade" last time I checked, that upgraded ivtv from the 
official 1.9 release, they fact that it did that had me running around 
in circles trying to figure out why my new machine was getting pre 
buffering pauses when trying to watch live-tv.
