Hi Jeff, Thanks. Version 1.1.0 is solid and can continue to be used for a long time. Version 1.2.0 contains mostly packaging improvements and modernizations. I think Linux repository maintainers might find 1.2.0 easier to (re)package, but if they’ve already got a working version packaged then there’s not a lot of pressure for them to update. But from the link you sent I can see that bookworm and bullseye (oldstable and oldoldstable) are using 1.0.0. I’ll contact the maintainers.
