that's normal, look at 0.38 and this is what 0.39's titlebar would look like if it was still a development release (old tdev post) and now it's this: so if it says RELEASE now then that means it's pretty much done, just small crash fixes
I wonder why they shut down the mod repository on weekends... I know, I little off topic, but just curious
Or that they are using release branch to test things as well, which makes total sense. You know, what works in one codebase may not necessarily work in the other. And the internal branch may already be way past what is planned for 0.39 (provided there's just one internal branch, which I doubt).
I don't get it anyway, I speculate that the Ardente will have features that we have never seen on official vehicles
