MySQL since 8.0 is on a "rolling release" model, where features were shipped as part of 8.0 once they were finished instead of waiting for a 9.0 release. Thus 8.0 got quite a few improvements since 8.0.0.
Recently they announced a new model where they split LTS style versions and increase version number, again, but features still appear as they are done and not for a big release:
