Research direction
Start by comparing the matplotlib Basemap API and installation pages, the GitHub releases page, the SourceForge download page, and the PyPI basemap page listed in the issue. Determine which version is the current stable release and update the conflicting version information so the documented release and download links agree.

Description
I'm afraid this may be a stupid question, but I have found conflicting information about the latest basemap version and I'd like to know the correct answer. And maybe someone can improve the available information
- The matplotlib basemap pages mention a 1.0.8 version, of February 13, 2014: http://matplotlib.org/basemap/api/index.html
- According to the github releases page, the latest version is 1.0.7, on 17 Aug 2013: https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap/releases
- The github basemap homepage says download basemap-X.Y.Z.tar.gz (approx 100 mb) from the sourceforge download site but does not provide the latest X.Y.Z information and the link to the appropriate sourceforge page : https://github.com/matplotlib/basemap
- The matplotlib basemap installation page (http://matplotlib.org/basemap/users/installing.html) provides a sourceforge link for Windows binary installers or source tarballs, where you can find a 1.0.7 version dated August 2013 : https://sourceforge.net/projects/matplotlib/files/matplotlib-toolkits/
- pypi provides the 1.0.7 version (without mentioning a release date): https://pypi.python.org/pypi/basemap/1.0.7
In summary, it seems you can get a 1.0.7 stable release, and there is a more recent virtual (?) 2-year old 1.0.8 release ? This is a bit confusing
