SVN versus release versions which is best

can somebody please point me to the right direction or answer this question for me.
I've worked w/ vicidial and asterisk for 2 years now, but because i do not have a test server at home to test this, .. i never got around to testing different versions of vicidial with different versions of asterisk. In the scratch install, i see that it says 1.2.24 is suited for 2.0.4, but can i also use the latest SVN ? Can i also play around 1.4 ?
I would love to know if people got around working w/ 1.4 w/o the hassles as i finally got a machine at home that i can test. Would appreciate the kick-off assist.
Many Thanks
