Upadate to 2.6? was created by elissa
I'm using LS 2.06lts Build 160801and now I see two options to update: 2.6.1-lts (161024) (stable) and 2.55.1 (161026) (stable) - see the attached screenshot. Both "download" buttons direct to the same page with the latest stable release ( www.limesurvey.org/stable-release ). Any idea what's that?

Hi Elisa,

2.6 is the same as 2.06 under the new versioning scheme.
Just update normally to 2.6 if you want to stick with the LTS version.

Best regards
Carsten

Hi, Eliza,
I understand that the button to download Version 2.06 also directs to 2.55

Might related to the yesterday's action.

Hopefully it's fixed soon.

best regards
Joffm

Hi,
As far as I know there are currently 2 reliable repositories offering up-to-date LS 2.06 versions

1) The LimeSurvey "official" 2.06 LTS version:
github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/tree/2.06lts

2) The not less reliable Denis's 2.06 "Sondages Pro" fork
framagit.org/Shnoulle/LimeSurvey/

Indeed, Denis is working on the branch answer_html right now:
github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/commits/answers_html

Which is a refactoring of the HTML of 2.50's views (and of CSS too). It will be released as 3.0

The 2.6 branches (official ones like the Denis's one ) are maintained only for security fixes. Right now, many bugs has been reported/fixed on 2.50 and not on 2.6. So staying on the 2.6 branch only makes sense for people using a lot of custom templates for their surveys, or a lot of workarounds specific to 2.6.

If you're not bind to the specificities of 2.6's HTML, you'd rather update to 2.50.

Thanks for your answers. Actually, I have two installations and I use both 2.06 and 2.5 versions but I was not sure if I should update my "old" LS to 2.6.

Cheers

No,

Mines was done originally for email sending Spam bug :) (and now, there are some other feature (some was here to allow me to do a plugin for 2.50 in a 2.06). Thanks for the security fix ;) .

I'm sorry Louis, but I personally think that it also makes sense for some LS "old" users experiencing an evident productivity drop when using 2.5 new admin interface :( ... I've no doubt that v3.0 will bring great improvements but I before all expect that in the near future LS will come back as a truly indubitable user friendly application :)

Feel free to suggest improvements to the admin interface.

It also makes sense to stay with 2.06 for those hosting where the jump in requirements for 2.5 are not met (php, MySQL & memory).
