not quite.  2.6.19 is the crrent stable release; there will then be
further point releases; 2.6.19.1, etc, which are basically for bug
fixes.  new features are now going into the 2.6.20 tree.  Using git, you
cna checkout any revision you want and build from it.  but it's advised
to use the ubuntu git tree; see thewiki page I referenced in my last
mail.
