There are no version numbers as far as I know but the last release date
was on: 2016-Oct-04 and you can always download the latest version from
this link:

Frankly, you guys have to learn to research these things for yourself.
This are the very basic questions everybody can solve for themselves,
even the most stupid people like SteveGG, Stan Brown or Micky can do this.

I deliberately avoided using the version number because of the confusion
it causes. 16.04 is more confusing because it could also be called
16.10 because the year was 2016 and month was 10. The number 04 makes
no sense at all so avoid using the version number old man. Microsoft
has a better way of using the version numbers for its Windows 10 releases.

An old man like you should be able to use common sense but it seems you
are too lazy to use your brain power, if any still left at such an old age.

16 is the year = 2016
04 means the fifth release, which includes betas. (count
starts at 00, this year's release is at 17.00, and it's a beta)

I think...

At the present time and since 2015 Jun, the v. scheme is yy.rr as Shadow
described.

Prior to that, versions 2-9, that scheme was not consistently followed.
Instead, there were a lot of v.2.xx 1999-2003, 3 for 2003, 4.xx
2004-2009, 9.xx 2009-15, then the current yy.rr again.

16.04 x64 is ok. If you're feeling adventurous you could also try 17.00
beta. I've been using 7-Zip betas for a long time, never any problem.

FYI, version 15.x and above have slightly lower compression ratio (produce
bigger archive file size) than previous version 9.x, when both are using
LZMA1 with the same settings.
