it's not out yet

i have built the alpha a few times and done some minor testing... i will likely bump the version pretty soon after release 👍

[aanderse]

upstream released new version!

unfortunately something was changed in the build system since the last beta so i will need to figure out and update

seems like some java dependencies are trying to be downloaded by cmake now but i didn't get a chance to really look into it yet

hopefully soon

looks like we're running low on time... #303286

fortunately i took a few minutes to look at this and the new version builds fine

i need to go through the plugins and ensure they are all updated, etc...

if anyone wants to contribute some effort testing this please ping here

Hi @aanderse, I think I could help you with both updating and testing. Do you already have a draft branch with the changes?
