The development process is outlined at [0].  Usually there's just one
supported release (at the moment, 2.1.2), although I have occasionally
seen releases out of order (from different branches).

Having said that, Git developers try very hard not to break things, so
many people are fine using an older version, such as the ones their
distros provide.  It is considered courteous to try the latest version
before reporting a bug, however.
