2. most recent; next before the present; latest: last week; last Friday.
3. being the only one remaining: my last dollar; the last outpost; a last chance.
4. final: in his last hours.
5. ultimate or conclusive; definitive: the last word in the argument.
The correct word you want so nobody else misunderstands is latest instead of last. The way last was used, it reads like definition #5.
