While discussing a rebuild of a fairly simple CMS site yesterday I was asked questions about moving to Drupal7.
--- There are many alpha and beta versions, Drupal7 beta 3 and alpha 8 so which is the most bug free latest version to install? -- Does Drupal 7, the recommended download have all the bug fixes of the alpha and beta versions? -- There seem to be no new releases or bug fixes over the past months, does this mean drupal 7 is good to go in production.
Can someone please advise me on this. Thanks in advance Roger
PS. I have both Drupal 7 stable and Drupal 7 beta 3 on my home pc, both seem to work well but I could not answer those questions. Thanks R
7.2 was released last Wednesday and will be the most current. "Good to go" is a relative matter. It may be for you, but it is not for me. And then there are the contribs...

One thing I never understood. 7.0 was left loveless and abandoned (while the bugs piled up) for three and a half months. The first bugfix for 6 took three weeks. It was only two weeks with D5.
What was the thinking behind that?

It was hardly "left loveless and abandoned." I assure you that bugs were being worked on. I can also assure you that bugs, even some serious ones, remain, and are being worked on as I write. Do you think it might be possible that the interval for the first "bug fix" release might be more because of proper pre-release testing resulting in a better code quality then the previous two? Oh, and how long was it before 5.2 came out? Answer: a very long time; D6 was just about ready before 5.2. Do you anticipate waiting that long for 7.3/7.4? I don't. You can thank the Security team for that.

I read an article by Dries on Planet Drupal discussing this. Sounds like it some issues got delayed by following the policy of making sure they were fixed in D8 as well. Dries has recognized the issue, and has made some adjustments (in commiting responsibilities) to solve the problem. D7 is on a fairly regular release track now.

The version is very relative. Drupal 7 does not have as many modules or templates as drupal 6.20. I like many things about drupal 7, but i have not yet changed ver 6.
