PostgreSQL different versions

I am new to PostgreSQL and want to start working with it as a database for web development. But on the PostgreSQL website, I have 4 active versions: 9.2, 9.1, 9.0, and 8.4.

Why does PostgreSQL have 4 active versions? What are the main differences between the two? Should I upgrade to the latest version?

Thanks in advance.

Active in this context means that they are still supported; bug fixes, security fixes. Things that end in life / fall out of support are no longer listed. This is about it.

You can learn more by reading the policy version document.

And yes, let's go to the latest, if you do not have outdated material that can break, this is a pretty safe option.
