VLC version higher on MX-linux than VLC site

[Vidcomp]

When I look at the version of VLC on my MX-linux system it is 3.0.17.4 Ventari but VLC web site https://www.videolan.org/vlc/ shows a version of 3.0.17.3. As of Nov-2022

Why is there a difference ?

I guess the 3.0.17.4 was taged, but not promoted yet at the time of writing. I checked and right now on videolan.org, it is proposing me
3.0.17.4 for windows and 3.0.17.3 for OSX

For linux the version reported is Version 3.0.17.3 • Linux

So that does not explain the higher version downloaded from mx-21 package manager popular applications.

mx-21 packager ship the version they want, 3.0.17.4 is tagged in our repository so they are free to ship it.
