Usually indicates a Public (finished) Release

Now I see:

Has this version gone back into Beta? This is very confusing.

Just wondering,

The 1st announcement is the latest released version.

The 2nd announcement is a later version number which is under test.

This is the normal release process - the entire thread looks like this.

I’ve never seen a ‘released’ or Public release be followed by a beta release in the same version before. Seems odd.

Interesting.

Again, per @d2freak and my posts, the 2nd one is a later version number.

It happens if there is a big enough bug in the public release. If you look at the notes, the 2 fixes in the beta were related to crashes.
