What is the latest Joomla version?

Normally, you should use the most recent version of Joomla for a new site unless you have a specific reason not to. Check regularly that your site is still using the most recent version.

Currently, 5.2.3 is the most recent version.

The latest version can be downloaded from the Joomla downloads website.

Updating to the latest Joomla version

If you are using an earlier version of the current series (for example, you have version 3.6.5), you should update to the current version. Each minor version fixes some bugs and/or security issues. It also provides new functionalities and features (such as using the latest PHP version which makes your website faster again).
