I noticed each time,when tensorflow released,https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/releases there are multi different version released at the same time, what's the differences between the versions.

Software, especially open source software usually has multiple releases at the same time ( Long Term Support, Stable, WHQL, etc...), as well as depending on the how many people use specific version, they might keep that version updated more ( either because breaking changes that the users can't update or other reasons )

Whenever there is a critical/security bugfix, if possible, all the branches will receive that bugfix..

This is what happened with TensorFlow, the latest release on 3 versions was all security/vulnerability bugfixes
