Indeed, no release has been done yet.

The code can be found here:
http://git.dorsal.polymtl.ca/?p=ust.git;a=summary

The tracer does work, with the following caveats:
- per-cpu buffers are not yet there (buffers are per-process)
- flight recorder is not yet functional
- in some cases, tracing does not persist across child process creation

A 0.1 release is targeted for this month.
