Latest Version: 5.4.2.2 - WTF!?

Permalink
This link:http://www.concrete5.org/tools/get_latest_version_number...
(used by concrete5 to check the latest version) says that the latest version is 5.4.2.2!

I know that this number usually lags to ensure a stable version, but come on! Version 5.6.3 is already out! Is nobody maintaining this?

I don't believe that is being maintained. I've been snooping around these forums for the past 2 years and I've never heard of anyone else mention this special URL but I might be wrong. What do you use it for?

Might be because you need to do a post request there at least with the "APP_VERSION" parameter (which defines the current version you're looking updates for).

Currently returns:
<update>
    <version>5.6.2.1</version>
    <date>2013-08-28</date>

Version numbers with only 3 numbers are never pushed to the auto-updater as of my knowledge. Once there will be 5.6.3.1, that will go to the auto-updater.

Actually seems like GET request is also enough:
