Is it recommended to use the older version of hyperledger fabric? - hyperledger-fabric

I wanna build a blockchain on hyperledger fabric. So I found some good repos in version 1 but not in hyperledger fabric version 2.
Would you recommend to use the old version instead of the latest version (2.0)?
Thanks for any recommendation/suggestion.

Hyperledger Fabric 2.2 LTS was released July 2020, this means that Hyperledger Fabric 1.4 LTS will go out of support in April 2021 (ie do not expect any updates or releases to the 1.4 version such as bug/security fixes).
Any new project should start with the latest LTS version which is currently 2.2

I face an error Ubuntu jammy is not supported while installing hyperledger composer prerequisite

Currently I am using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS version on Oracle virtual machine. When I try to install all the prerequisite of hyperledger composer it's showing an error Ubuntu jammy is not supported.
I am unable to run ./prereqs.sh command. Please help me
Unfortunately Hyperledger Composer has been unmaintained since August 2019 so I'm not surprised that you have hit problems with prereqs.
I would strongly recommend using Hyperledger Fabric directly, which is what Composer was based on. Although it is still not as straightforward as Composer, there have been quite a few improvements to Fabric over the last few years which should hopefully make getting started a bit easier. For example, have a look at the full-stack-asset-transfer-guide repository, which was used in a workshop at the Hyperledger Global Forum last week.

Which Hyperledger Fabric version is recommended 1.4 or 2.x

I would like to know what is the recommended version of Hyperledger Fabric (1.4 or 2.x) or if it is 100% recommended to implement the most recent version, in this case 2.x.
This is because for obvious reasons 1.4 has more downloads and implementations for having more time published.
Greetings and thanks
Hyperledger fabric 1.4 community support will finish in April 2021 (Service providers may provide support for longer). The recommendation is that you should start with Hyperledger fabric 2.2 which is the current LTS version or 2.3 if you want to try some of the newer capabilities

Is Hyperledger Explorer compatible with Hyperledger Fabric v2.0.0?

I've build a Hyperledger Fabric network (v2.0.0) and I want to know if Hyperledger Explorer tool is compatible with this version of network.
Can anyone help me?
As of now regarding Hyperledger, Hyperledger Explorer can support up to Hyperledger Fabric 1.4.8

You are in luck. As of July 1st 2020 they support v2.0 and above.
Just download the latest docker image build of version: v1.1.1 (Jul 17, 2020) and you are good to go.

I referred the link to download SDK. But it is having only 0.9.0 like (azure-svc-mgmt-0.9.0) version
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/downloads/
Why the latest version SDK documentation not uploaded in azure site. Please give me some suggestion to get rid of this. Which version last stable release?
Thanks in advance.

Recently azure has released 1.0.0 as stable release and this Java SDK version is the latest stable version.
This version has changed drastically compared to older stable versions such as 0.9.0.
I would recommend you to upgrade you to new Java SDK version 1.0.0.

Node.js versioning : difference between v4+ and v0.12.X

What's the difference between Node.js version >= 4.0.0 and versions 0.1.X to 0.12.X ?
On this page https://nodejs.org/en/download/releases/, I understand that Node.js v4+ is a fusion between old Node.js and io.js. But v0.12.9 has been released on 2015-12-03, few months after v4.0.0 (2015-09-08).
So, are the 3 branches still active ? What's the difference between them ?
Nodejs 4.x is the converged version of Node 0.12.x and io.js 3.x. io.js was originally developed due to the conflict between Joyent and Nodejs team. Version 1.x was released in Jan 2015. You can see this changelog for the complete list of Nodejs releases.
Node.js team described when they announced this feature is that 2 different types of node.js versions will meet your node.js needs.
LTS (Long Term Support, currently v.4.2.4) will have support and maintenance for at least 18 months. After 18 months have passed, it will transition into Maintenance mode which may last 12 months. So Long Term Support (often referred to as LTS) guarantees application developers a 30 month support cycle with specific versions of Node.js.
Stable (currently v5.4.1) - will have support for approximately 8 months, with features/updates released more often. Node.js v6 will eventually turn into a new LTS version that will have a similar support timeline to v4. In this way, we will have a new Stable version of Node.js every 6 months with every second one of these turning into an LTS line.
Node.js v0.10 and v0.12 are special cases in the LTS plan. v0.10 will go directly into maintenance in October, lasting for 12 months. v0.12 will have an initial LTS period of 6 months starting from October, followed by the requisite 12 months maintenance. io.js releases will not have official LTS or maintenance support.
