So if .38 is coming out in May, that'd still be 03/2019.38, they won't change the 03/2019 until the next major version is released.

But I am just speculating as well.

Major version number for features and bug fixes and minor number for things like small corrections in text, images, minor imperfections etc. So small fixes they add after releasing the software without mentioning it nor pushing as a separate update generation. It's like the "build number": feature version 3, build 4, for example.
I work with software a lot so understand the difference between an actual software version or build.

If we think it's just a build difference, then there could still be fixes in the subsequent builds that weren't in earlier builds. Seeing as there are a lot of ongoing issues, you'd think they would push the next build out as an update instead.

I believe you need to get wireless charging/LTE for this functionality. Doesn't make sense from a marketing perspective, but this been asked and posted a few times here.
