For best results, always use the latest from their Git repository.
Many of the grammar libraries are updated every few days, so they are
not stable enough to rely on outdated versions. Unfortunately,
there's no "grammar version" API in the tree-sitter-to-grammar
protocol, so we cannot even implement version checking, and refuse to
use outdated (and thus buggy) grammar libraries. Moreover, many
grammar libraries don't even make releases and thus don't announce
their version.
