 > While upstream has marked these as pre-releases - whether intentionally
 or not

 Where do you see them marked as pre-releases?

 They are in the "releases" directory on the server, which makes them
 releases; otherwise they would be in the "snapshots" directory.

 This project follows the even-odd rule that many other GNOME projects used
 to follow. The second number in the version number—38, 40, 42, etc.— being
 even indicates a stable version.

 From the mailing list announcements:
