118.0.1 was first released on Sept 28 too, so this isn't exactly breaking news.

I was wondering if this happend again so soon, since I already updated last week.

Last time this story was posted, this was two updates ago. So unless you haven't upvoted in months, it's a non-issue.

Anyone using Tor browser should know that they should check it’s updating status before using it. Thankfully it checks itself but still, stay up to date before you browse.
