There you can see, 8.2 ist the current stable release and you can download it from there. Minor version, current 8.2.3, contains bugfixes and/or security-fixes.

If you plan to upgrade after that, then 8.3 is the version you'll want (it is currently expected to be released around July). You should be aware that upgrading from 7.1.x versions is likely to be a somewhat intensive process since, while it should be backwards compatible, recent versions of pg_dump almost certainly hasn't recieved much testing against 7.1.x versions. (I'd almost recommend upgrading to an intermediate version like 7.4.x, but it probably isn't worth it... just make sure that you keep a copy of your 7.1 databases running until your done testing, and make sure to test your applications thoroughly. Also don't forget that any applications /drivers/ libraries that are built against 7.1 should be updated / recompiled against newer versions as well.
