They are practically the same[1] thus I did not find it important, but
I'll update
it because probably there are numerous users waiting for that.
I was also waiting for feedback on bugs like this one to see if I have to make
additional changes before I create the backport.
It sould be nice if you could upgrade and test the current version to
see if this
bug is still open.
