Version numbering confusion - 6.10.5 is named a prerelease #5989

We have been running hapi-fhir 6.2.1 for some time and decided to update to a newer release. We decided to not go for version 7.0.0, but aimed for a newer version 6., work was in progress on 6.6.0, but we ended up targeting hapi-fhir 6.10.5 as it was the highest version number before 7.0.0 (https://github.com/hapifhir/hapi-fhir/releases/tag/v6.10.5) Now, I am surprised to find that the version 6.10.5 is labeled as a "prerelease" in the change log: https://hapifhir.io/hapi-fhir/docs/introduction/changelog.html#change6.2.3-4398. And I can see that version 6.8. in the change log is labeled as proper releases, and that is gets updated: https://github.com/hapifhir/hapi-fhir/releases/tag/v6.8.7 Can we use version 6.10.5 and upgrade to version 7.. ? Or, is version 6.10.5 some kind of dead end ?
