PyPI is a bit misleading here. It can either be configured to display _all_ releases by default (allowing you to manually go through and "hide" things like beta releases) or it can be configured to display only the most recent upload and hide all earlier uploads (what we have set currently). This is suboptimal in the case of non-chronological release ordering, e.g. when releasing different series from different branches. In this case the JJB dev team are working toward a 2.0.0 release from the master branch which brings in a lot of new features and also some backward incompatibilities (hence the major version bump a la SemVer), of which the 2.0.0.0b2 release is the most recent beta-test version you can try out. Because of the lengthy beta period, it was necessary to backport some critical fixes to the last production release (1.6.0) without introducing new backward incompatibilities so the stable/1.6 branch was created and subsequent 1.6.x releases tagged there (1.6.2 reflecting the current state of that branch). > If it's not, could a new release be made, as there have been a lot of > changes since 1.6.2. If there are critical bug fixes you need on top of 1.6.2 we can try to get those backported and a new 1.6.3 release tagged to incorporate them. If you need new features only present in master slated for the coming 2.0.0 release and don't need to worry about upgrading existing configuration to accommodate the changes it's bringing, then it's probably okay to try the beta versions (it looks like there's been quite a few new commits in master over the past couple months, so maybe it's time for either 2.0.0.0b3 or even 2.0.0.0rc1?). All that said, I'm not really an active developer on JJB so the dev team members on it may have other/better advice for you once they see this ML thread. -- Jeremy Stanley
