    Sice before yesterday, my new Unity Hub in the Official Releases shows a version 2017.4.0f1 but is not declared anywhere else.

    For security reasons, in this case, is good practice to just press the download button?
    solution: This particular version is here: https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/lts-releases

    2017.4.0f1 is the new Long Term Support (LTS) release that Unity announced at GDC. LTS releases are supposed to have at least 2 years of ongoing patches, but no new feature backports. I'm a bit surprised I haven't seen much more discussion on this topic, or any announcement outside of GDC (and I think they even said the wrong version number during the keynote). It is also surprising that the main Unity download page still directs to 2017.3.1.

    Yes in the keynote, I was watching it live and mention 2017.3
    So 2017.4 is also in your Unity Hub and I can download it, correct?

    I don't use Unity Hub, but I already downloaded 2017.4 directly from that link I posted above.

    I like this new https://unity3d.com/unity/qa/lts-releases page. Is more compact and simple to understand. Probably Unity5 will be included. But surprise me that this particular Vr is not listed in the traditional way.
