In general, -testing contains the stable release plus some bugfixes. When 
new releases happen, the development tree (-unstable) gets swept into 
-testing and new disruptive development resumes in -unstable. Bugfixes 
generally get applied to -unstable but will also make it into testing if a) 
users have complained about those bugs and b) they are more likely to get 
there if users help backport and test those fixes from -unstable to 
-testing.
You may find you want to at least monitor the -testing tree and see what 
fixes have occurred. Of course the most effortless way to get updates is 
probably to get a distro from SuSE / RedHat / someone else that includes 
Xen and then get updates as RPMs along with everything else. You could also 
use the yum repository on the XenSource site, that also contains updates if 
you have a supported distro. I'm not sure how often they update, because I 
don't use them.

should be in the archives so you may be able to find it on
