16.10 is the latest release however release of 17.01 is imminent and will probably happen early next week. The release_17.01 branch is what usegalaxy.org runs for the past few weeks without any big issues. 

The choice is yours but updating to release_17.01 now is alright I think as along as you keep it updated with what will be added in the future.

Thanks for using Galaxy,

Dear galaxy-dev list members,

 

Can somebody tell us, which version of galaxy is the last official stable release ?  16.10 branch has been merge with master but not the 17.01. Additionally this 17.01 branch seems to have a lot of recent commit,  is it normal  ?

Is it safe to update our local galaxy repository with these 17.01  changes or is it better to wait a little  and stay with  galaxy 16.10  for the moment ?

 

Thanks for your help.
