Hi all. I'm totally new to drupal. Reading the getting started guide for 5.7, the quesion "Which versions are supported?" is answer by "Only the current release and one previous." So, I'm wondering since 6.2 version is the current one and 6.1 version exist[s/ed] does that mean that 6.1 and 6.2 are the only supported ones? Thanks, -Gezim

Thanks, -Gezim Current release is 6.2 (6.x) and the one previous is 5.7 (5.x).

Gezim, The supported version release numbers refer to the major releases, which is the first number in the version number. So 6.x and 5.x are supported, but 4.x versions are not. After the next major release (Drupal 7), the supported versions will be any 6.x version and any 7.x version. -Gabe Gezim Hoxha wrote:

Hi, Gezim. No, the "current release" refers to the current major release. Drupal 6.2 is a bug-fix release in the Drupal 6 series. Right now, the stable releases are "the latest Drupal 6.x" (currently 6.2) and "the latest 5.x" (currently 5.7). Drupal 5.x will remain supported (at least by core) until Drupal 7 is released sometime early next year (probably?), at which point the supported versions will be 7.x and 6.x.
