Well, Maxima 5.29 exists already in the sense that there is a 5.29
branch in Git and tags for one or more 5.29.x (the latest is 5.29.1).
If other projects want to build that version, terrific, I hope they
will. I didn't make a public announcement about 5.29 because many users
use Windows, so it would be confusing to them to announce 5.29 without
an installer for them to use.
Some other projects have release candidate versions and then a "real"
release. I don't see the point of it, to be honest. Every tagged version
is a release candidate for the one that comes next.

Yes, I hope someone will fix that.
