Was v3.6.2 released on npm on accident?

Has 3.6.2 been released? It shows up in NPM https://www.npmjs.com/package/typescript

In Github, version 3.6+ is still in RC https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/releases

It looks like there's something strange going on in distribution tags.

beta: 3.6.0-beta
rc: 3.6.1-rc
latest: 3.6.2
next: 3.7.0-dev.20190828

There's no 3.6.0 or 3.6.1 in latest.

EDIT: Ok, it is actually a stable release: https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/releases/tag/v3.6.2

I'm worried about skipping these versions and jumping straight to 3.6.2. That can confuse some people.

It's intentional. See https://github.com/microsoft/TypeScript/releases/tag/v3.6.2 / https://devblogs.microsoft.com/typescript/announcing-typescript-3-6/

3.6.2 is also intentionally the version number.

That release (17mins ago) was not live when I posted this issue (26mins ago). So NPM updates before Github Releases.

Good to know. Thanks.

The process occurs in a stochastic order with nondeterminstic delays because humans are pushing the buttons 😅
