Choosing the right version of the module thoughts
This isn't a specific "what version to use" question for a module, but just something that I thought of as I was installing the lightbox2 module. The following screenshot show 2 version for Drupal 6.x, there's the official release from Jan 09, and the dev version from August 2009.
When I saw that originally, I though, "Wow, I bet there is a lot of new features and cool things in that new version, like 8 months of development, and that older version is sooo old!"
On further reflection, I am picking the older version. "Why?" you ask. Because if it's been 9 months since it's been an official release, must be pretty stable and not in any need for being fixed.
