Hi,

10.10.2.0 has all the *new* functionality of 10.9.1.0 and 10.10.1.0. Plus it has  more bug fixes than 10.8.3.0, both because the 10.10 branch was pulled from trunk at a later time and because 10.10.2.0 was released later and thus even more fixes were back-ported. It therefore also has more possible incompatibilities to older versions.

10.8.3.0 only has the most important fixes available at the time of release back-ported, and has very few incompatibilities compared to e.g. 10.8.2.


There were some plans to make a 10.9.2 at one time but that fell by the wayside. It would have replaced the 10.8.3.0.

The "Latest Official Releases" tend to be the latest releases produced on the 2 most active release branches. Once we publish 10.11.1, I expect that we'll remove 10.8.3.0 from that list. Right after we produce a feature release, the list has this meaning:
