On the downloads page there's a 9.0.2.ED listed as the 'latest' but then if I expand the '9' below it I get to 9.1.1.ED. Which one is the actual latest? is there any way to tell the one that is not an 'interim' version I think 9.1.1 is also listed under interim?
TIA!

Hi TIA,
The latest release for this 5505 is -9.0.2.
The 9.1.1 is the interim version hence dont use that as of now that is still in testing phase.
Please find below description on different versions of releases:
Cisco IOS is versioned using three numbers and some letters, in the general form a.b(c.d)e, where:
Rebuilds - Often a rebuild is compiled to fix a single specific problem or vulnerability for a given IOS version. For example, 12.1(8)E14 is a Rebuild, the 14 denoting the 14th rebuild of 12.1(8)E. Rebuilds are produced to either quickly repair a defect, or to satisfy customers who do not want to upgrade to a later major revision because they may be running critical infrastructure on their devices, and hence prefer to minimise change and risk.
Interim releases - Are usually produced on a weekly basis, and form a roll-up of current development effort. The Cisco advisory web site may list more than one possible interim to fix an associated issue (the reason for this is unknown to the general public).
Maintenance releases - Rigorously tested releases that are made available and include enhancements and bug fixes. Cisco recommend upgrading to Maintenance releases where possible, over Interim and Rebuild releases.

Both 9.0.2 and 9.1.1 are ED (early deployment) releases, 9.0.2 having been released after 9.1.1. The release notes should give the new features 9.1.1 brings.
The interim release is 9.1.1(4) which is not the same thing. It is a later build with a list of bug fixes as outlined in the release notes.

Thank you both for your responses.
Do you know what the latest maintenance or full release is then?
**Edit - Every version listed in the downloads section is an ED version - even 8.4.5 and 8.2.5. I thought those were 'release' versions.

HI,
Please contact your account team they would be the best guy to suggest the software for you looking at your requirement.
If you just wanted to know the release then go ahead with the 9.0.2 as later than that is still in progress. Interim will have some bug fix which might have been affected on 9.0.2 release.
