I am using Drupal 5.12. It is the version available on the Download page. Lately, I have seen reference to a 5.2 version at various places on the Drupal site. Is this a typo? Or are their updates that I am missing?

Hi Bob,
That is a tricky thing.
Version numbers use the decimal as a separator, not an indication of a fraction of a unit.
It's more "Version 5 Subversion 2" than it is "Version 5 and 2/10ths."
So, "Version 5 Subversion 12" is greater than "Version 5 Subversion 2."
Maybe you could add something about this to http://drupal.org/handbook/version-info

Ah! Enlightenment!
In some quarters, where the convention is used,5.1.2 would the lesser version.
