s/version./version, respectively./

How about: "... as they have the same version."?

144 ↗(On Diff #31477)

I would put the "think" part in () like this:
(think <quote>pre-release 1</quote>).

P.S.: Now that I've read the other examples, I think this is fine without (), but add a comma before the "think" part.

Now you still have to add the "the" after "when". I marked it up differently, so you may have not noticed it in the earlier comment. ;-)

  • One missed correction.

You are right, I had not noticed it. 🤔

I think it's good to go now. Thanks for working on it.
