Hi John-

For beta and full releases, we'll continue to do that.  For alpha
releases, I can't guarantee that, but...

When we release 1.3b1 at the end of November/beginning of Dec, we'll
add a 1.3 subdirectory to the FTP site. 

Unfortunately, for the 1.3a2 release, we didn't generate the corresponding
source and JAR files along with the installers.  I just put 
the 1.3a2 source and JAR files out in the /pub/idv/untested.  This
is actually from last night's build, so has a few updates since the
announced release.

Let me know if you find any problems in your testing.
