2.4.4 is the latest in the new stable series.
The development series has an odd minor number. In the case of 2.4.4, 2
is the major number, 4 is the minor and the .4 is the point release
number.
Eg., 2.3.x and 2.5.x would be development (kernel developer/brave
soul-oriented).
The 2.2.x is the old stable series, and 2.4.x is new stable series.
Point and major version number can be even or odd and be stable series.
It's only the minor you need be concerned with.
