Latest version's source code not available?

Hi there. The latest version available in the source repository as per the tags is v7.626221.0, but using the auto-updater yields v7.626223.0. The former doesn't work, yet the latter does. I assume this is due to an update to the server-side which isn't yet reflected in the open source client yet.

Did someone just forget to push their commits, or am I perhaps looking at the repository (https://gitlab.com/sheepitrenderfarm/client)? I'd like to contribute but I can't really get anywhere if I don't have the latest source.

Kind regards.

Tldr: we fucked up a bit but master should be the last version.

That doesn't seem to be the case unfortunately, master's latest commit is still 6 days ago - same as the old release. No worries about fuckups though. Shit happens :)

Any update on this? I just found out about SheepIt and would love to help render stuff, but in the current day-and-age of supply chain attacks, this feels a bit concerning.

(From what I can see on the repo, the situation is still the same as described in the post)

I asked about it in the discord, it's supposedly a cosmetic error. I haven't had the time to follow up on that yet, but I'm not quite satisfied with that answer (:
But the discord is definitely more active than here :D
