Oops, good catch! I've updated that and rebuilt again.

Unfortunately, upstream only releases on their own timetable and this can sometimes be years between versions. I was hoping to use that, as well, but with 1.9.0 out just in Autumn of last year it's unlikely we'll see a 1.9.1 before the Fedora 36 release going by past releases. Upstream mostly just builds off of SVN HEAD for their own purposes and development moves very slowly.
