The activity with the 1.38 git and snapshot work is great.
But the main web page shows nothing on 1.38?
Lists. 
27 September 2024 -- BusyBox 1.37.0 (unstable)
As the latest version.
Has 45 - 404 error links.

I'm very happy using the 1.38 git build for my project.
BusyBox v1.38.0.git (2026-05-03 03:33:48 ChST) multi-call binary.
Is the latest.

Many release stick with the 1.37 it is considered the active release.
Though 1.36.1 was the last actual stable release?

Fedora has Busybox
Fedora 43 repositories is 1.37.0-3.fc43
Fedora 44 repositories is 1.37.0-7.fc44

Been a user of busybox going back to 2004, and generally did 
upgrades when the main page annouced them. But 1.37 was last, so 
moved to watching the 1.38 git (1.37.0 git link is one of the broken 
404 links on main page).

Perhaps there is a good reason, why main page hasn't been 
updated. 
Perhaps there is some reason 1.38 hasn't got a mention or release?

I'm just a user.
Looking at work since 2020.
