Only these patchleves has been released. 1.8.5 Aug 25 2006 1.8.5-p2 Dec 4 2006 (security fix) 1.8.5-p11 Dec 18 2006 1.8.5-p12 Dec 25 2006 1.8.5-p35 Mar 13 2007 1.8.5-p52 Jun 9 2007 1.8.5-p113 Sep 23 2007 1.8.5-p114 Oct 4 2007 (security fix) 1.8.5-p115 Mar 3 2008 (security fix) (1.8.5-p2xx maybe soon? / last release of 1.8.5) 1.8.6 Mar 13 2007 1.8.6-p36 Jun 9 2007 1.8.6-p110 Sep 23 2007 1.8.6-p111 Oct 4 2007 (security fix) 1.8.6-p114 Mar 3 2008 (security fix) (1.8.6-p2xx maybe soon?) 1.8.7 Jun 1 2008 1.8.7-p17 Jun 9 2008 Tagged versions on svn are not released.
