There's no release; I would recommend waiting until a release is out;
I'm planning to have one for HAL 0.5.10. Either that, or pick a git
snapshot from a few weeks ago...

Yea it is optinal. My bad. And CK will continue to be optional for HAL
as well; there are no immediate plans to make it mandatory since it
doesn't make sense (right now at least) for things like the N800, OLPC
etc.
