There is a link near the bottom of the <http://www.amanda.org> web 
page that points to the ftp server at umontreal.edu.ca, where you 
will find the most recent releases.  Bookmark it.  I'm running the 
2.4.5b1-20041113 release right now.  Its a piece of cake for old 
hands to build and install the newer 'snapshots' as they are 
released.

I have in the past, posted my own bash script that configures and 
builds each new snapshot for me, so you may want to check the lists 
archives and grab it.  I'd repost it again, but its been simplified a 
bit from the older one posted since I'm now running vtapes on a BIG 
hard drive.  

Which of course will be the $65 (USD) commodity drive a year from 
now. :(

With this script, the only thing I have to do as root is the make 
install (as the instructions tell you) and a run of ldconfig when the 
install has been done to fix up the library linkages.  Everthing else 
is done under an 'su amanda'.  The instructions don't mention the 
ldconfig run, but more recent linux's do need it done.  All this 
takes about 5 minutes on a 2800XP athlon with a gig of ram to go from 
a tarball on the hard drive to the fully installed new snapshot.
