Whats up with the Syncthing script? It's not updatable, and the version it's installing is ahead of the public release version

I want to install the syncthing LXC, but it's going to install the v2 beta 9, which isn't even the latest beta. latest release is 1.29.5. It also says its not updatable? it was added about a year ago, so wondering whats going on, and if we can get a script for the latest release?

It use there own Repo with stable releases, you see this in the source code.

curl -fsSL -o /usr/share/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg https://syncthing.net/release-key.gpg
sh -c 'echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/syncthing-archive-keyring.gpg] https://apt.syncthing.net/ syncthing stable" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/syncthing.list'
$STD apt-get update
$STD apt-get install -y syncthing

Weird because the latest beta is 12, and the latest stable is v1. Also you can't update it?

The script page says it's installing beta 9 for some reason

[MickLesk]

Its just an crawling from newreleases.io without filter

our scripts don't install betas. only stable releases
