The current, or 1.1_ALPHA (what else did you expect?). The *10 files
are the official 1.0 binary release packages. Many improvements and
bug fixes have gone into the current source since the release of 1.0.
Did you try to _at least_ browse through the Web page? *You will find
pointers to two major current snapshots in the URL mentioned above*.
I did not mention it for no reason (sorry if it sounds too strong, but
you have to make some effort to help yourself when it comes to free
software like NetBSD).
