Yes. 9.6x is the current stable release. 9.63 is the most recent, fixing some security issues.

10.x is the next version and Opera currently have an alpha out. :)
 
This is a welcome update! 9.62 was pretty buggy and unstable on both my systems especially when handling flash content on sites. While the 10 alpha is very decent, I don't really want an alpha as my primary browser...

Off to download 9.63 now :)
