Not really. The most recent CVS snapshot is available at
http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/snapshot. It's quite stable, but I
strongly suggest that you run ./configure with the --disable-nls option.

Not quite stable, I'm afraid. It is, after all a great many programs
that are supposed to run on a great variety of platforms. Bugs are

The snapshot plugins (from link posted above) should work more or less
properly though.
