At https://ice-wm.org/versions.html there are links to all of the 1.5 series (and a list of earlier releases with no links). But the main page there says it is now maintained at github, with the link we have been using, and that only has 1.4.2 as the current release.
BUT - the issues tab there has as its second item "icewm 1.5.3 error: use of overloaded operator '[]' is ambiguous" (related to using clang on 32-bit architectures). It seems the developer (same github username) has put the 1.5 releases at https://github.com/ice-wm/icewm
Looks as if this is legitimate (icewm lists disappeared some time ago, I think a new maintainer stepped up after the previous maintainer went missing).

It seems the developer moved to the official IceWM repository for releases and changes, rather than a personal one.
