Current versions in portage are 2.3.8 and 2.4.5. --8<-- Postfix stable release 2.4.6 etc. fix minor problems in the SMTP client, and work around "noatime" mail queues. Note: stable releases do not change except for bugfixes and emergencies. New features are introduced via the experimental release (currently, Postfix 2.5). - A remote SMTP client TLS certificate with an unparsable canonical name triggered a panic error in the Postfix SMTP server (attempt to allocate zero-length memory) while sending a request to an SMTPD policy server. - On backup MX servers where the queue file system is mounted with "atime" (file read/execute access time) updates disabled, the flush daemon would trigger mail delivery attempts once every 1000 seconds, thus rendering the maximal_backoff_time setting useless for backup MX service. --8<-- (2.3.8 => 2.3.13 has even more interesting changes)
As latest and greatest 2.5.1 is already in the tree, it's not that much important for me to have the latest 2.3 and 2.4 versions in portage...
I agree with not bumping 2.3.x each time a new version exists, since 2.4 is stable and the upgrade is easy. I bumped 2.4.7 since 2.5.x is still ~keyworded and 2.4.x is stable.
