As a reminder, starting from version 2.x, the Wine project switched to a new version numbering scheme: each stable release increments the first digit of the version number (4.0.0, 5.0.0), while updates to stable releases are released with a change in the third digit (5.0.1, 5.0.2, 5.0.3). Experimental versions, developed in preparation for the next major release, are released with a change in the second digit (5.1, 5.2, 5.3).
