I was trying to check the latest ASP MVC version, but I got really confused. I was able to understand the problem that happened first when Microsoft declared MVC 5 and then renamed it to MVC Core 1.0.

Still I see now in Microsoft documentation for the regular .NET framework they only mention MVC version 5 as the latest version, while on the web everywhere I would find topics about what is new in MVC 6.0, which has the famous feature of removing dependency over System.Web. Also 6.0 is mentioned on Wikipedia with release date for rc1 as 18 Nov 2015

So is it called MVC 6 by Microsoft or still they call it 5? what is the latest dlls versions for MVC?

There is asp.net-mvc-5.2.3 which is last version before they went to asp.net-core-mvc. Web API 2.2 also shares the 5.2.3 version number. Check Nuget

MVC 6 was originally part of ASP.NET 5 and suppose to be the next version, but due to major changes in the code base, it was decided that it needed to become its own new framework, they decided to change its name from ASP.NET 5 to ASP.NET Core. which is the suggested latest version to use going forward for new projects.
