Enterprise Linux and other Long Time Support distributions are usually
very strict on updating packages which are in scripts. CentOS-7 is
based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 which was released in 2014 and had
its last package set updated in 2020 with the release of 7.9. All
changes til its end of life in 2024 will be security fixes or other
critical fixes.

Normally to get a newer package like this you will want to compile the
version you want in /usr/local/ or some /opt/ tree directory to a)
make sure it doesn't break existing tools but b) is available for
scripts.

time to shutdown -h now.
