It shows on my installed PHP that a new version is available. When I use PHPList Updater, it indicates that the latest version 3.6.13 is already installed. When I select download only the 3.6.13 is available.

@Seahawk There might have been a glitch with the file that shows the latest version

https://download.phplist.org/version.json

That now shows 3.6.13 which is expected, as it is not meant to include release candidate versions (it used to do that but was changed a while ago).

If you want to test the release canidate then you can install it manually or use the Updater plugin, which was included in release 3.6.13, see https://resources.phplist.com/plugin/updater
