We do not make snapshots available.  Rather, that link points to the current
*release*, which at the moment is 1.1.  You can see this by fetching the
Change Log link, though I can see how this is all confusing.  We'll aim
to clarify the release numbering on that page soon.

We've been doing roughly 6-9 months between public releases.  (Again, these
are not snapshots.)  We're aiming for the 1.2 release around October.

> Don't know is it right, but using svn to checkout, I get asked for password:

Per the above, we don't make the SVN repository publicly accessible.  We
may consider changing this in the future if we get enough requests.
