Downloading a released version of Heartbeat as a compressed tarball is equivalent to fetching a tagged snapshot from the Mercurial source code repository. Release tags follow the format STABLE-x.y.z, where x.y.z is the released version of Heartbeat you wish to download.

If, for example, one wants to download the 3.0.1 release, the correct sequence of commands would be:

# wget http://hg.linux-ha.org/dev/archive/STABLE-3.0.1.tar.bz2

# tar -vxjf STABLE-3.0.1.tar.bz2
