   Could someone enlighten me?

this person would have to know you very well to do a good job.

   Is 1.6.x not considered the latest working release?

depends who you ask (as usual).  the impersonal "it" is no friend of the
inquisitive, although the upgrade fashion victims don't seem to mind.
the sooner you know yourself the sooner you know the best way to find
trust in others.

all this is to say you would do well to examine what aspects of guile
(or any software for which there is source code available) you find
attractive and only afterwards see which label is affixed to the guile
that provides those aspects.  this approach will suit your needs better
in the long run, than the alternative, which is to jump on the latest
w/o question, which is fine if your needs coincide w/ that which is
provided but tricky to guarantee w/ human beings involved.
