While everyone is waiting for the release of OpenCart 4.1.0.0, a new release of OpenCart "old" branch 3.0.x.x with version number 3.0.4.0 has been released on the official Github repository. There are a lot of changes, but we cannot say that they are significant. There are a lot of fixes, removal and addition of payment extensions and others.
When discussing what number the new version should have, there were two options: 3.0.3.10 or 3.0.4.0. Since there were actually no functional changes in the system, the use of the 3.0.3.10 index suggests itself, but then many old extensions that check CMS versions would have problems, because the patch "10" is a number, not a digit. Therefore, everyone agreed that the new version of OpenCart will have an index of 3.0.4.0, which seems to be logical, because in addition to the fixes, payment extensions were also added and removed.
We are ready to offer extensions for OpenCart 3.0.4.0 - ready-made solutions for your new system.

As you can see, the new version of OpenCart 3.0.4.0 has a lot of bug fixes, and most importantly, there are security patches. Therefore, if you are a fan of the stable 3.0.3.x branch, the release of 3.0.4.0 is definitely good news, it is a continuation of this branch. Almost all modules and extensions that are compatible with the previous 3.0.3.9 will work with this version, so there will be no problems with the selection of ready-made solutions.
The release of a new version of the old branch is also a harbinger of the upcoming release of 4.1.0.0. Therefore, before publishing the updated "four", OpenCart author Daniel Kerr released the older version. By the way, in one of the discussions on Github last week, he wrote that he was finishing work on the order editor in the admin panel and that it would be released after that.
We are already using OpenCart 3.0.4.0 and are waiting for OpenCart 4.1.0.0!
