Neither or both. Using CVS you can get ANY version, including the one that
contains the additions made ten minutes ago.
By default what you get is the current state of the code, which can change at
any time.

If you get from cvs (without specifying a version) and do a "wine
--version"
it will basically be telling you "the last version". Basically what
you have
is something between the last version and teh next version (which doesn't
exist yet).

A couple of choices.
If you actually want the source code of a particular version you can simply
download a "tarball" of that version. (Follow the links at
www.winehq.org->
download->sourceforge
Alternatively you can get a particular release from the CVS as follows:
(make sure you move the wine directory out of the way to avoid getting
confused versions; CVS can be a little bit of a pain)
mv wine wine.mybackup
cvs checkout -r Wine-20040505 wine
(Change the 20040505 for other versions)
For more information about CVS you might try dowloading the
"Cederqvist"
manual from www.cvshome.org
