A quote from the www.garagegames.com/docs/tse/general/ch01s04.php#setupengine.win.cvs.versionsand... TSE Documentation: "Tags and releases"
Tag Name---Date---Represents...
HEAD---In active development.---The HEAD contains the latest code changes but is not guaranteed to be stable. When the HEAD stabilizes it will be labeled with a Release tag.
Release_0_2_0---11/17/2004---The latest stable development "snapshot". You'll notice that the Release is labeled 0_2_0, TSE has not yet hit the 1.0 mark. As such, this "release" version is not as stable as TGE releases. This label simply allows you to download the source-code that TSE originally launched with.
Release_0_1_0---06/02/2004---Archival development snapshot from the stable release launched in the summer of 2004.
These seem a little out dated, has the documentation been updated? Is 0_2_0 the latest stable release? It seems just over 2 months ago MS4 was announced to be released soon www.garagegames.com/mg/snapshot/view.php?qid=1255 Does the 2 in 0_2_0 represent Milestone 2? Is there a more up to date list I am missing?
It seems that 2 years ago is a little bit of a long wait between releases of stable versions, but then I'm not familiar with the development process, this could be quite common...
Excited to start diving into the engine,

-edit Sorry about the formatting of the table of release versions, I'll try to edit it to look as good as possible three dashes --- are seperators now
