IIRC, Thunderbird development works on the ESR (extended-support release) branches of Firefox. The Thunderbird version numbers track the Firefox ESR versions.

102.13.0 was released a few days ago.
102.x has been out for a while.
When you receive an update to it depends on your distro or whether you have it installed as a Snap or Flatpak, etc.
That threw me for a loop. I went to download 115 and got 102.
I've mostly stuck with webmail (Fastmail for personal, Gmail for work) but would love to get back to a local client. So I'm willing to give the new Thunderbird a shot, but it's perplexing when they advertise 115 and give me 102 and it's really unclear how to get the nifty stuff they're advertising.
Gmail supports IMAP. Even in a corporate environment I used Mail as my client.
I just now got an update (thought it would be to 115) but it's to 102 [1].
In the release notes of 102 it says it was made public only 5 days ago (and they say 115 is coming soon). And seemingly it can't update to 115? Am I missing something here?

[edit] okay it seems 115 is not yet released as https://www.thunderbird.net/ still links to 102. But the Beta links to 116 (https://www.thunderbird.net/de/download/beta/) so I guess they are still moving things around
