Hi Maria Thank you for contacting us. I am planning on moving to 1.19.3 later this month once we finished testing on it. We will be sticking with 1.19 for its time frame of support. When the next LTS release after 1.19 comes out we will switch to that. Sorry for so long in getting to 1.19.3 yet. > I was wondering what is holding you back from upgrading to the current > version.
