I am currently running openlitespeed 1.7.19-5.el9 from the OpenLiteSpeed repo, but expected v1.8.0 (at least) to be available by now.
Have I overlooked something?
Yes it is good. An announcement somewhere here when the RPMs are updated would be even nicer.
On the subject of RPMs, litespeed-update repo may need an update, lsphp74-mysqlnd.x86_64 is at version 7.4.32-2.el9 but 7.4.33-2.el9 has been released for around 1 year in the Remi repo I think.
