 From the home page, the current stable release is 1.3.1, and the
current developer snapshot is 1.4svn-r6956.

 From the roadmap page (link on the home page), you'll see that CUPS
1.1.x and 1.2.x are the former stable releases and are no longer
maintained.  CUPS 1.3.x is the current stable branch, and 1.4.x is
the current development branch.
