You can get a discount to upgrade to the latest version when you're ready.

Iurii,
am i short-sighted or there is indeed no way to see the version number on the download page? Neither the downloaded installer shows any sign of version number... at least not what i have noticed :s
Is there a way to get any previous release? I might have run out of the support period just now...
thx,
