I don't maintain the official site, but I am one of the last remaining
Renegade systems in the world.
I would strongly suggest you start with 05-11, then upgrade to 98-101D then
upgrade to Y2KA2. The reason is because the menu sets from 05-11 are what most
people will be familiar with. If you just started with a new install of
anything past 05-11, you will get menu sets nobody is familiar with.
The problem with Renegade is that anything past Y2kA2 (the "1.x" series) is
full of features that I feel start to drift away from what Renegade was all
about. Things like lightbars and stuff resembling Searchlight. If someone
wants to run Searchlight, they can run that. Not to mention anything past
Y2KA2 has new menu sets and breaks compatibility with 3rd-party software due
to internal database structure changes.
