3.6.2 is a maintenance release with bug fixes for existing 3.x users for whom an upgrade to 4.0 is too big a leap at present. 4.0 is the release that will see active development from here on in. If you ware starting with a new project, 4.0 seems a reasonable place to start. I'd expect 4.1 to be out by the time you go into production, which will likely iron out many niggles found in 4.0.
