[FIXED] Installing CakePHP 3.10 outputs version 4.2

Issue

I'm attemping to install CakePHP 3.10 using the following command:

composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app:3.* my_app_name

However, once it's done, I see this on the welcome page:

"Welcome to CakePHP 4.2.8 Strawberry"

Output of console:

$ composer create-project --prefer-dist cakephp/app:3.* my_app_name
Creating a "cakephp/app:3.*" project at "./my_app_name"
Installing cakephp/app (3.10.0)
  - Installing cakephp/app (3.10.0): Extracting archive

Solution

Looks like there was a mistake, it seems that 3.10.0 accidentally targeted the master branch.
