After update I have seen version numbers (8.13.1 for RELENG_4_11 and
8.13.4 for RELENG_6_0). Got check for the safe version on sendmail.org
- 8.13.6 and ... rebuilt new sendmail again manually.

Some people have decided, that there was a mistake.
IMHO, it was necessary to fix version numbers.
Everyone know, how it to hide.
