https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/etc/NEWS.2... says, "This is a bug-fix release with no new features." But I don't understand what the bugs were.

Check the Changelog for that: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/master/...

Anyone running the jit Emacs? Can't wait for it. I did try compiling it from source for my linux setup. Would love to see it on windows.

I think there isn't an official one, but since 2016 there's been a major version released approximately every two years, and a minor version every couple of months.

I am. I honestly don't notice much of a difference, but at the same time I keep seeing deferred compilation warnings for plugins I have added via straight.el

I've been using https://github.com/flatwhatson/guix-channel to manage it. I don't recommend trying the Pure GTK+ stuff yet though; some context menus don't seem to work. Specifically, treemacs rename seems broken with PGTK.
