    3.3.x == the stable release branch, and is X11R6.3 based;
    3.9.x == the development branch, is X11R6.4 based;
    4.0.x (or 4.x) == the forthcoming stable release branch (the first stable version of the 3.9.x branch ;-) ), although I think the first 4.0 will be somewhat unstable (unless they fix a lot of bugs the next few months). 3.3.x and 3.9.x are out now, 4.x will be released somewhere this year.
