ProFTPD does not follow a documented release policy.
Looking at the latest releases, it seems that:

  • there is one stable release cycle which is the current actively maintained branch
  • there is one maintenance release cycle which still gets backported fixes from stable
  • a new release cycle puts the previous one into “maintenance mode” and completely ends the next-to-last one
  • maintenance happens by releasing tiny versions on both active branches
  • the tiny version part is added as letter directly to the release version without a seperator
  • there are several release candidates before a new cycle starts

You should be running one of the supported release numbers listed above in the rightmost column.
