The CiviCRM core team and community of developers and implementers are proud to present...

  • 4.3.6 The latest stable version of CiviCRM
  • 4.2.11 An updated LTS version

Which one should I use?

In most situations, and if you are new to CiviCRM, you should choose the latest stable version. It contains new features and receives the most support. 4.2 LTS (long term support) is provided for those organizations who are using an older version of CiviCRM and are not yet ready to upgrade; it receives critical bug fixes only. More about 4.2 LTS.

Note that we don't see it as important for you to upgrade to 4.2.11 if you are already on 4.2.10 (although you may choose to).

The 4.2.11 release contains a fix related to http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-11331 which could require you to update any custom custom searches you have (ie. ones that were not shipped with core)
