The latest 'stable' release (v4.2.8) was released in January 2019 and is now showing its age. As there are no plans for another v4.2 maintenance release and there is no direct upgrade path from v4.2 to v4.3/v4.4 we recommend all new installs use the current v4.3 'development' releases. These have been in a reliable state for several years and will soon become the new v4.4 stable release (eta in Q1/2024).
