1.4.5 is marked as "(STABLE)" on the Downloads page. I think there's maybe a few issues with this.
1. "STABLE" vs. "LATEST", seems to imply "use 1.4.5, as 1.5.1 is risky". I'm not sure that's the implication we want to be making, as it will discourage users from using 1.5.x when it's the latest supported version. 2. Version 1.4.5 has the potential to be less stable than 1.4.4 because of drastic changes to support Hadoop 2. It may be more stable than 1.4.5... but even that might depend on your definition of "stable". If, by "stable", we mean the feature set is stable, it's certainly not true. 1.4.5 added a big feature on top of 1.4.4: support for Hadoop 2. I think we should update the page to either: a. drop "stable" and "latest" tags from the sections, or b. mark 1.5.1 as "latest, stable", 1.4.5 as "legacy" or "previous supported release". In either case, a or b, I think we should archive the 1.3.6 section, and replace it with a section that points to the download archives. -- Christopher L Tubbs II http://gravatar.com/ctubbsii
