Those pages are quite useful!
That's the version in Ubuntu Xenial. It is possible to add some patches
and push a new release. However, we have to select the patches (all the
MAJOR ones?) and create this hybrid version. It could be useful for
people not allowed to use third party packages (like the ones on
haproxy.debian.net) or for those that just don't know they exist. While
I think this would be useful for many, the gap is so wide that it even
seems risky. If we are able to identify a couple of patches, I can walk
the process of pushing them.
This version is in Ubuntu because this was the version in Debian
unstable a few months before the freeze. It's always a bit random as we
(in Debian) don't really care about that when choosing the version we
push in unstable (we care about our own release).
FYI, we are likely to release 1.7.5 (with USE_GETADDRINFO=1 enabled) in
our next release (to happen in July I hope).
