This release isn't weird in any way ofc. How does the fixes of this release relate to the 4.0 RC2 release ? All testing/reports done for RC2 can be stuffed in the toilet now ?
@mattias: An unfortunate typo in the Lazarus ML about 3.6 bugfix release.

It does not relate. This release is built from fixes_3_0 branch while 4.0 RC2 is built from fixes_4 branch.
fixes_4 was forked from main much later. Release 3.8 does not have many changes compared to release 3.6.

Why is that?

Because when something is fixed in 3.8 while that is same issue was still present when 4.0 was forked the issue also is part of 4.0. Now, when fixed in 3.8 with this fixes release you do not expect the same issue to pop up again in 4.0 while in theory it might.
