Help with Alfresco features by release

[slagreca]

Hi: First post, gentle replies appreciated My company is reviewing Alfresco Community version. There's a bit of resistance – seems one of our managers worked with it approximately two years ago. I'm the BA (biz analyst), with a mission of "review and recommend". I've perused the website and am aware of several versions:

Version: 1.4, 2.1, 2.2, 2.9, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2

Could any of you help by telling me which version was being used back in 2007, and if there exists a "features by release" description.

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

Steve

In 2007 it was probably 2.1 but could have been an even earlier release.  
With hindsight, 2.1 seems to have been a pretty good release and there are still folks getting value  from using it.


There's quite a lot of change since the 2.1 release though.
