Upon release of new Scala version (stable, or Scala 3 RC) version dependent artifacts would be published without a new release.

Potential runtime incompatibility: Scala Native Standard Library used in Scala 3.0-3.7 artifacts is based on the Scala 2.13.17 sources - it might lead to different behaviour when compared with execution using JVM due to SIP-51. It is a well known issue caused by Scala Native build infrastructure limits and would be resolved since Scala 3.8.
