It's 1.17.5 and 1.18.1 out now. (I was off before. I thought it was 1.18.5 out, but it's just a .1 there.)
I've seen some mentions that the older version is kept there because it's more stable. Both of these were out since Oct 2023. Is 1.17 really more stable? And if not at this point, is there more a stable and very latest release cadence going usually, or is just the current and second-to-last version that are usually supported? I'm thinking it's latest and second-to-last. I think that was in a recent Kevin post here.
Is there anywhere to see what the larger differences are between then? Or just a general gist of the changes from Kevin would be good time. I'd just assume 1.18 is better, maybe more features, probably the same but possibly more security in 1.18.
