  • Will be rebuilding 15.0.9 to include these fixes and will announce once that's completed.

  • See issue above for applying a manual patch in the meantime.

  • I still need to make the upstream PR with the other fixes and will also include this in said PR.

  • I closed a bunch of issues I think have been resolved since we did the stable release. If you believe any of these are in error, please reply to the issue and we can look at it.

See you next week!
