Hi :) There was a 3.6.x branch but that is old now. The next was 4.0.x. The question is why you think you need 3.8.x? Is it for stability? If so then ...
When a branch is new some things don't always work this is around the 3.6.0, 4.0.0, 4.1.0, 4.2.0 and the press (magazines, podcasts and popular media) grabs hold of that and grumbles about it. As a branch matures the things that didn't work usually get fixed. So by the 3.6.2, 4.0.2, 4.1.2, 4.2.2 Most things usually work. It's about the same as a "Service Pack 1" for those people familiar with Microsoft terms. The press has lost interest and seldom bothers to update their articles. Although they often do report on what MS's SPs do. Eventually each branch reaches maturity although we each have a different opinion of when that generally happens and each branch is slightly different anyway. I think we mostly agree that it has happened by the 3.6.4, 4.0.4, 4.1.4, 4.2.4 and this is roughly the equivalent of an Sp2. Around then is when a new branch with tons of new features gets released and the new branch starts again from the x.x.0. LibreOffice then continues each branch on until they reach the x.x.6. LibreOffice develops VERY fast so it's reasonably easy to stick with an x.x.4-6 and then upgrade to the next y.x.4-6. It's just that newspapers and magazines find they are more likely to sell well when they can find problems and criticise so they have to avoid the x.x.4, x.x.5 and x.x.6s because if they did reviews of those there would be so little to grumble about.
