Hi Andrea,
The vVERSION tags are automatically created by GitHub when we create a release. The mbedtls-VERSION and now tf-psa-crypto-VERSION tags follow the historical pattern that the project has been using, and have the benefit of reflecting the project name. I believe that they're equivalent: I don't think we've ever had a reason to make them point to different commits.
The thing to watch is a new release on GitHub.
Thank you for maintaining these packages!
Best regards,
