Backports are for new versions, not bug fixes. In this case even as
this is a new version, the use of an older version of the game client
with a new game server version could bring issues to users, so that
makes this release more of a "bug fix release", because we are trying
to avoid any possible problem to our users, not because we want to
have the latest version of the game. If we leave the current version
and then a user reports a problem while playing the game, the 0.6 or
0.7 or whatever version is available at the time would be pushed as an
update, not as a backport.
