I definitely have 1.4.2.

A trunk build scares me a bit because I'm running on production servers; also, I don't know how to get and build the trunk version (I built 1.4.2 from the source distribution, but I've only used it locally so far).

If you can point me to information on how to get going, I'll set up a test system and try it there.
