Latest Release - What is it really?

[Andrew Marker]

My core question is if I'm upgrading on January 28th what version is the recommended version?  I apologize if my reasoning seems simplistic or conclusions drawn from incorrect premises.

Am I being too much of a fanboy of the process assuming that the latest is the greatest? Should I be using 6.2.X as I move from v5.3.x?  v6.3.0 is building without issue.  I have an issue with delegate auth and duo, so I was checking for an update to the service as a part of troubleshooting that. 

6.3.x isn't listed on the page referred to from: https://apereo.github.io/2020/07/02/cas-release-notes/  : https://apereo.github.io/cas/development/release_notes/Overview.html

It also isn't listed on the linked from there as the choice for: "Appropriate Versions": https://apereo.github.io/cas/Older-Versions.html

It is tagged in GIT, so that seemed like the better gauge of truth rather than documentation updates made by HUMANS.  Before i went further I'd just ask the question above, in the event there is knowledge that I haven't clued into yet.

Andrew,

Under EOL Schedule on this page, https://apereo.github.io/cas/developer/Maintenance-Policy.html (which is under planning on the left hand menu - both 6.2.x and 6.3.x docs point to 'developer' for this page).

If you are upgrading, plan for the latest tag. 6.2.x will buy you 5 months before your next upgrade. Cas is released on a date schedule rather than number of features completed.

This is great. Thanks Ray.

I also find that https://github.com/apereo/cas/milestones is a great resource for planning releases.

Great.  I've bookmarked that as well.
