Hello auditbeat team,

I noticed that version 8.19.0 has the latest flag on GitHub. However, on the website it is 9.1.0.

Is there a specific reason for this, or was the latest flag simply set incorrectly?

Thanks,

Ferdi

Both 8.19 and 9.x are being maintained so it's just a matter of timing. The 8.19 branch was released most recently (~2h after 9.1) so GitHub automatically gave it the "latest" tag.

Ah ok, so github decides which release get the latest tag.
Thanks for clarification.
