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

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

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/

EM Variables => bit.ly/1TKQyNu | EM Roadmap => bit.ly/1UTrOB4
Last Releases => 2.6x.x goo.gl/ztWfIV | 2.06/2.6.x => bit.ly/1Qv44A1
Demo Surveys => goo.gl/HuR6Xe (already included in /docs/demosurveys)

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.

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

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).
