If not likeable by some. > What do you mean by "older releases". I seem to remember that two versions are supported - the current one and the major version behind (i.e. currently 3.4.x and 3.6.x). Bug fixes are not released for old versions (e.g. 2.32.x) - since they are not supported. If a unknown bug is somehow found in an old version, then presumably/hopefully the current code base is examined to see if the bug still exists and it is then fixed. But the fix will not be released for that old version, since it will never be created for that old version - that is, after all, what "not supported" means.
To confuse things further some major distros, such as RHEL, will backport appropriate patches to older versions - so RHEL6 is currently on 2.28.3 and will be for the foreseeable future, but it is considerably different to the 2.28.3 released by Evo a long time ago since it has had so many patches backported to it. In any case, this is not something that is unique to Evolution - the whole of Gnome works in that way.
