The "latest" GitHub release for wasmtime is currently v36.0.9, which is quite a bit older than the highest available version of v44.0.1. It looks like the release process is marking all releases as the latest even when they are a patch release on an LTS branch.
This causes scripts that depend on the latest tag to pull old versions. For example:
