title: Why is the latest MinGW gcc version 6.3.0
body: <p>I'm getting MinGW from <a href="https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/</a> which I need for <code>mingw32-gcc.exe</code> for compiling LuaRocks packages, so I can't really use Mingw-w64.</p>
  <p>The latest version from the Installation Manager seems to be on 6.3.0, but I also previously had 8.2.0 from around 2019. Why does it give me an older version?</p>
