Developer Overview
We use the Git version control software. If you are unfamiliar with Git, the fastest way to get the code is to download one of the versioned snapshots. To learn about Git, we recommend you start with the documentation.

Building on Windows
Building the source code from git requires that you be familiar with and have installed a Unix-like environment such as Cygwin or MSYS. If you do not meet these criteria, we recommend you use the most recent Windows source download, which has pre-built Visual Studio projects and solutions included. This package is updated on every release
