Yes, they changed the name displayed by system from 5.3-STABLE to 5.4-PRERELEASE to indicate that we are nearing the release of 5.4 After 5.4-RELEASE is out the name will change to 5.4-STABLE 5.3-STABLE and 5.4-PRELEASE mean essentially the same thing, namely the 5-STABLE branch from some point in time after 5.3 was released but before 5.4 was released.
