Finally, the long awaited stable release of GDAL and OGR has been published. Current stable release number is 1.4.3. There is not much of magic of numerology behind this number and it just says it consists of 3rd iteration of patches to 1.4 stable release.
The official GDAL/OGR 1.4.3 announcement says:
The GDAL Team is pleased to announce the release of GDAL/OGR 1.4.3. This is intended to be a successive bug fix release after GDAL/OGR 1.4.2 and it’s extending the GDAL 1.4.x stable branch. This release does not include the many new features in the development trunk (which will appear as GDAL/OGR 1.5.0).
