Thanks for the release! A quick question, Pale Moon has different release times for Windows binary and Gnu/Linux. Is it same case for Basilisk or are they built and released same time?

I think they were released at the same time. I was able to upgrade my Linux Basilisk on 18:58:41 UTC+8.

There are gonna be some differences in build date depending when it is built. Normally Windows and Linux are released on the same day.

I always release Basilisk for Windows and Linux at the same time.
The versions may differ slightly if they were built on different days (I try to avoid that). Also, with it being 64-bit only it's easier for me to build both Windows and Linux now so I no longer have to rely on a Linux build from Travis (in a completely different time zone).
