About Godot Engine
Godot runs two branches at once: 4.7 takes the features, 3.6 still gets fixes.
Godot's release feed is almost entirely maintenance traffic. The 4.7 line shipped as a feature release in June and has since taken two patch releases (4.7.1, 4.7.2), while 4.6.x got its own tail of fixes. The newest tag is 3.6.3 — a maintenance drop on the legacy 3.x branch that predates the 4.x rewrite.
