Tor Weekly News, September 3rd, 2014 - mentions Tor Browser 3.6.5 and
4.0-alpha-2 are out.

But the download site
https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser.html has only 3.6.4. &
4.0-alpha-1.
After members of the Tor Browser team confirmed yesterday that they were
planning to release 3.6.5 on the 2nd, I chose to keep the announcement
in, hoping that the official blog post would soon be up and that the
download links would be changed. I asked several times on IRC if I
should go ahead, and no one seemed to have strong feelings.

This has happened more than once and I don't really know what to do
about it. If the Tor Browser team object to Tor Weekly News announcing
things, I have no problem with not doing so. On the other hand, the
software is available in the /dist directory (I'm using it now!), so it
has âbeen releasedâ.
How many average Tor users would look for newest stable releases on the Tor Browser distribution site?
Signatures?

I have no idea what the upshot is, except maybe there's miscommunication or timing isn't coordinated (common in every organization)? I was just curious that the announcement was in the weekly news, the distribution site https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/ is updated, but the main download site for all Tor projects isn't.
