Why is Python 3.6.1 not available in pyenv?

According to python.org, Python 3.6.1 was released at the end of March 2017. But:

pyenv install -l | grep 3\.6\.

Output:

3.6.0a1
3.6.0a3
3.6-dev
  1. Why is Python 3.6.1 not yet available in pyenv?
  2. Where can I find documentation about the releases that pyenv supports? (when it was added, what is in progress, etc.). The pyenv documentation does not give this information.
  3. Is there a repository for Python releases supported by pyenv? (similar to PyPI)
