There are literally hundreds of issues with all versions of Cura. Missing features and things that don’t work correctly. See https://github.com/ultimaker/issues. Each new version of Cura has fixes for some issues, but new issues get reported constantly (many of which are issues with previous versions too).
The release notes contain a list of fixes in 4.0. Most of these fixes are issues with 3.6.
Does that mean you cannot use 3.6 if you prefer it? No. Use what you like. But be aware that there are issues with it that are fixed in Cura 4 that will not be fixed in Cura 3.6. One example is that supports have a tendency to extend all the way to the buildplate, even if they encounter a piece of the model that does not need support.
PS: if you are asking this because you don’t like the new UI, try the Sidebar GUI plugin from the Marketplace.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
