The latest release is 2.46, December 2009. I have not tried yet the version 
from trunk, but I have noticed in Win8 some issues and also the lack of 64 bit

Visual Studio 2010 has several projects allowing to create installers, given 
the fact that cmake supports VS2010, I was a little surprised to see that no 
VS install projects can be generated.
