1.6.2, but there is no good reason not to take all the bug fixes. It's a stable branch.

By the way: You'll find it easier to read the NEWS file than the ChangeLog:
http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/glom/branches/glom-1-6/NEWS?view=markup

The ChangeLog is for people working on the software.

Some ifdefs were added to support the Maemo platform. We did that initially in a branch but eventually it had to be brought back into the current stable version. It's all working fine in Ubuntu Hardy.

And several other bugs are fixed too. That's good. Bug fixes are good.

That's not a real problem because nobody is using Glom for anything remotely important. The couldn't be, because no version of Ubuntu has ever had a version of Glom that didn't have a critical bug, because Ubuntu never packages the bug fixes. So it's risk free to take the latest stable version.
