To expand on what Wes has said: Yes - 5.2 *does* precede 5.3 But when we released version 5.2, the emphasis for that code switched from adding new features, to maintaining a stable system. So 5.2 -> 5.2.1 -> 5.2.2 is basically just a matter of fixing bugs as they come to light. In the meantime, we kept adding new features to the internal development code, which is what's in the process of being released as 5.3. As soon as that version is out, the emphasis for that line will switch to maintenance and bug fixes only, and new features will be added to the development code again (which will eventually see the light of day as 5.4). So 5.2.2 is a new revision of old, mature code, while 5.3 is the first appearance of new, cutting-edge code. The same holds (but more so) for the 5.1.x, 5.0.x and 4.2.x lines.
