Since version 3, TeX has used an idiosyncratic version numbering system, where updates have been indicated by adding an extra digit, so that the version number asymptotically approaches π. The current version of TeX is 3.141592653; it was last updated in 2021.
Thanks @typeswitch for the discovery.
@neauoire @typeswitch the way I see it, it only *really* got idiosyncratic after 3.1
