> 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.
