In investigating ways to install SWI-Prolog (specifically for use with WSL 2 which is synergistic with Docker (ref)) was checking out using the swipl image from DockerHub

Welcome to SWI-Prolog (threaded, 64 bits, version 8.2.0)
Was expecting the latest version, 8.3.10, but the DockerHub version is at, 8.2.0, so was wondering how are the versions chosen for DockerHub.
I did find the GitHub repository related to the DockerHub image (docker-swipl) but don’t know what triggers the build and if it just a matter of when the build takes places that determines the version.
As near as I can figure it is just done manually.
99% of the time being a few minor versions behind is fine so this is just out of curiosity.
