The latest official version is 1.4.5, released in April 1998. A development release, 1.4.5.55N6, was widely considered to be a true stable release; it has, in fact, fewer bugs than 1.4.5. Version 1.5.0 should be available by the time you read this. If you are contemplating installing a version of AfterStep, it is worth either waiting for the release of version 1.5.0, or installing the latest beta version of 1.5. Any version of the 1.5 series is a significant improvement over any 1.4.x release. There is also a current development effort around the old version of AfterStep (v. 1.0). This effort is called AfterStepClassic. It is primarily directed towards fixing bugs in the old 1.0 release of AfterStep, and is not always compatible with new developments in AfterStep. It uses only the .steprc-style configuration, so if you are looking for information on how to configure AfterStepClassic, you should assume that the information about versions < 1.2 apply to you.
