I think you mixed up what year we're now :). Caddy 2.6.2 October 13, 2022 so it's been not 3 but 15 months since release.

Even more relevantly, HTTP/3 was first supported out of the box in 2.6.0 - released Sep 20, 2022. Even if 2.6.2 had been just 3 months old that it's from the first 22 days of having HTTP/3 support out of the box instead of the versions from the following 3 months would definitely be relevant criticism to note.

This is why I'm not a fan of debian. (I assume OP got that version from debian because I can't think of any other reason they wouldn't have used latest.) They packaged Caddy, but they never update at the rate we would reasonably expect. So users who don't pay attention to the version number have a significantly worse product than is currently available.

We have our own apt repo which always has the latest version: https://caddyserver.com/docs/install#debian-ubuntu-raspbian

Stable/tested but not latest version. Or unstable/untested but latest version. Chose one.

The distribution you chose, also makes you make that choice. If you're using Debian Stable, it's because your prefer stable in favor of latest. If you use Debian Testing/Unstable, you favor latest versions before stable ones.

Can't really blame Debian as they even have two different versions, for the folks who want to make the explicit decision.

I don't call an old version with known bugs to be "stable/tested". No actual fixes from upstream are being applied to the debian version. There are known CVEs that are unpatched in that version, and it performs worse. There's really no reason at all to use such an old version. The only patches debian applied are the removal of features they decided they don't like and don't want packaged. That's it.

Oh, right you are, somehow I completely mixed that up. Thanks for clarifying.
