+Version 7.12 contains the latest innovations, like the AI-enabled chat assistant, the Open REST API, and the latest tool integrations.
+If you are starting with Stages, we recommend to use 7.12, if you are prepared to upgrade to 7.13 within three months when it comes out. If you use the Stages Managed Service, you do not need to worry about upgrading anyway.
 ===== When to use Version 7.11 (LTS) =====
-Starting with version 7.7, the Stages release frequency was increased and a new release will be issued every few months. This means that previous releases will drop out of maintenance earlier than before.

 We are aware that not all our customers are able to frequently upgrade their system. For those customers, we will keep **Stages version 7.11 under Long Term Support (LTS)**. An LTS release will be maintained for at least two years until a new LTS release will replace it.
