Thanks for the notification.
We are actually on our way towards not only 1 but 2 releases: 0.4 that
features checkpointing and bugfixes, and 0.5 which has a new API and design.
There are still a few improvements to 0.4 to be worked on before
releasing it.

This refers to the previous release (0.3). It wouldn't be possible to
checkout tag 0.3 from Apache's repo. But you are right to point this out
and I have updated the links to the repositories accordingly on the
website ("get involved", "code").
