You can access the development repository from SourceForge project page:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/xetex/

There is usually no separate releases, XeTeX is released with TeX Live
(and the repository is essentially a subset of TeX Live tree, that is
why looks a bit "unusual"). HarfBuzz-enabled XeTeX (v0.9999) is aimed
for TeX Live 2013, but I may try to make a beta release with some
binaries for people to test given the relatively big changes in this
release.

Regards,
 Khaled
