QuakeForge and Quake2Forge are always in constant development. Our development version has the latest features, but changes rapidly as bugs are fixed and features are added. Stable versions do not change significantly once released, though we sometimes make revisions of the stable branch to fix known bugs.
This is our new development tree (we're back to "quakeforge"), where we're again in the process of merging Quake and QuakeWorld ... but this time, it's much better. :), and will eventually provide the 0.6 versions of QuakeForge.
While almost always in working order, it's under heavy development so be prepared to encounter some issues (Wear your hard hat!). Please check the docs.
UNIX users: because of the diversity of machines QuakeForge runs on, we do not provide UNIX binaries. You need to compile QuakeForge yourself however, QuakeForge is very easy to compile once you have the following packages installed:
QuakeForge: Version 0.5.x
cvs login(only need this once, press enter for the password)
cvs up(creating ~/.cvsrc is highly recommended)
Newtree is our sta^H^H^Hdead tree. It will provide the 0.3 and 0.4 series of QuakeForge releases. Most activity has move to the development tree though.

Development Snapshots (source updated daily)
QuakeForge: NUQ (pronounced "Nuke") is, basically, the Classic Quake version of Newtree. NUQ is based on the WinQuake engine, but with lots of enhancements from the merged tree and Newtree. Being the reverse Newtree, there is no support for QuakeWorld multiplayer protocols.
The NUQ tree is also dead. Our quakeforge tree has the netquake and quakeworld code together with the bulk of the code merged, so it's now redundant. And since nobody works on it anyway, that's a good thing.
Even though it's dead, NUQ here anyway. If you want single player, grab quakeforge-current instead, it's much better.

Since current work is based on Newtree and NUQ, the merged tree snapshots are no longer being made. You can still get it directly out of CVS, however.
QuakeForge 0.1 is our initial offering to the public. It's not really for end-users, but served as a proof of concept that the Quake and QuakeWorld trees are more closely related than initial look would indicate.
