The versions that end with a letter designation are considered alpha code. Only experienced LiS users should use these versions. I usually publish these when I have made major modifications and would like some external testing of the code, but don't want people using it in production just yet. LiS-2.17 has been in the state for quite awhile.
The versions that end in numbers are usually just a bug fix or minor feature enhancement within that major version number.
The latest "approved" version is LiS-2.16.18, but I really should release LiS-2.17 sometime soon as people seem not to be experiencing problems with it.

Dear sir,
I would like to understand the naming convention used on your FTP site
ftp.gcom.com/pub/linux/src/LiS. Suppose I wish to donwload the latest
LiS-2.16 file. What is the difference between LiS-2.16.B.tgz and
LiS-2.16.18.tgz? In other words, how are letters different from numbers in
the 'z' position of a version number of the form 'x.y.z'?
Also, is LiS 2.16 or 2.17 the latest production-quality release?
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
David Odren
