You can get the source from any point of time in the past using the 
versioning system but this is completely beside the point.  Several 
reasons have been mentioned already why there might be delays but in the 
end it all boils down to one thing:

Bringing out a new beta version is the combined effort of a lot of 
people who all are working on POV-Ray in their free time and also have 
their real life obligations.  It should be pretty obvious that this can 
cause delays.
