To be fair, there was only a week between 3.3.8 and 3.3.9 :)  The current 
version in Geany git HEAD is 3.3.6, its not known if this will be updated 
before the release.  The update rate tends to slow near releases to allow it to 
"mature" a bit.

A pull request on github is the preferred path.

1.24 is only waiting on a fix for a major bug in the windows version.
We think we might have that fix now.  I would guess its unlikely that anything 
else too major will be added before release to ensure its all reasonably mature 
and tested.

Cheers
