Bullseye became stable in August of 2021.

"Stable" means that packages don't change except to fix serious
bugs, especially security-related bugs.

Bookworm became stable in June of 2023. The fail2ban version
there is 1.0.2-2.

Bullseye became stable in August of 2021.

It's also perhaps worth noting that there seem to have been only two
interim releases.

https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban/releases lists 0.11.2 (Nov 2020),
1.0.1 (Sep 2022), 1.0.2 (Nov 2022) and 1.1.0 (April 2024).

The release notes for 1.1.0 says 0.11 or 1.0 can be used if you have
Python < 3.5; and 1.0.1 says 0.11 can be used if you have Python < 2.7.
